Unfortunately, I have a sick kiddo at home today so I wasn't in class. You will probably get more information out of your child today than from me. Here's what I left in my plans for the substitute to do: In Social Studies, they were reading about Ohio's natural resources and using magazines to create a collage of examples of each resource. In Math, they were to continue their work with multi-digit multiplication and to play Multiplication Wrestling which will help them to understand the partial products method for multiplication and multiplying 2-digit by 2-digits. After lunch and recess, the sub read One Green Apple to the students for Read Aloud. This is a great read about accepting differences and compassion. Hopefully, your child was able to grasp the theme of the book. In Reader's Workshop, they read a Time For Kids, read silently and independently and worked with Mad Libs to practice parts of speech. In Writer's Workshop, they filled in a graphic organizer discussing the basics of a personal narrative or a story about something that has happened in their life. Most good personal narratives surround an event with great emotion. What did your student write about?
I should be back tomorrow as I think grandpa will be staying with Adison if needed.
For tomorrow's warm fuzzy, please have your child give me two thumbs up. Thanks for playing along and getting involved in the blog as well as getting your child involved!
