Sorry this is late~I was here until 7:00 pm with conferences...
We began our day with finishing up our conference presentations and practicing with a partner in preparation for sharing with you. After special, we worked on our first fraction lesson. This group did great! We made a kit with fraction strips to help us along the way with our understanding of fractions. Then, we played "Uncover" and "Cover." Our goal over the next few days is: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions. **I left at lunch for an appointment. Mrs. Debby Bowers (an AMAZING teacher) was our substitute for the rest of the afternoon.** For Read Aloud, they read The Wall by Eve Bunting and read an informational text about Veterans Day. Hopefully, they came away with an understanding of the observation yesterday and the importance of our veterans. In Reader's Workshop, they worked together to discuss point of view and perspective in literary text (narrator, first-person, third-person). They researched in Writer's Workshop and most did a great job getting their questions answered and their research logged.
