Monday, October 7

Oh happy day! In Science, we continued our inquiry project with Weathering, Erosion and Deposition. We also looked into more processes that shape Earth and decided if they were rapid or slow processes. Our rehearsal for the fall concert ran long so we only had time for a number talk in Math. After recess, Trip went to the moon! We are in the midst of the Historical Fiction chapter and Trip is part of the 1969 mission to the moon. In Reader's Workshop, I met with groups to do some close reading and get the basics of literary text. Students also worked on their Ohio Studies Weekly on the regions of Ohio and defining some Mighty Math Words. In Writer's Workshop, we revised our personal narratives. After reading some of them over the weekend, I found that our writing needs to develop a lot more than where it currently is. We finished our day with a pre-test in Word Study.
