Wow! Today was a catch-up day in a lot of what we did. It just worked out that we needed some time to just work and get ourselves caught up in Reading, Writing and Word Study. Unfortunately, we can't afford too many of these days so some kids may need to start bringing class work home to get caught up on or finish if they don't get it complete during the school day. If they used their time wisely, there should be no problem completing the work in the time given. If your child is bringing work home, it is a red flag to you that they probably didn't use their class time wisely.
In Social Studies, we finished our work with Ohio's resources. In Math, we cleared up misconceptions with multi-digit multiplication, practiced more and tried to apply what we've been learning through completing number riddles. This set some kids into a frenzy because they needed to apply and use all of the vocabulary we have been using. We will complete these number riddles next week. This group is very black and white and that fuzzy, gray area really stresses them out. I'm ok with this because it is teaching them perseverance and problem solving. They are not ok with this now, but it will get easier. After recess, we finished the animal fiction chapter of Nightmare at the Book Fair and began the fantasy section. This is a funny section because it really exaggerates fantasy literature. We played catch up with our Reading and Writing Workshop work during the afternoon.
