Another conference late night... sorry for the late post!
Yesterday, we began our day with Guidance. It started with a very troubling incident~about 2/3 or even 3/4 of the group blatantly made fun of another student all at once. We discussed this matter further and I expressed my disappointment as well as what it means to stand up and not go along with the group. Hopefully, students will show more compassion to others after our conversation-wow. After music, we came back and worked on our math menu. Students played games and worked in a small group with me to help their understanding of equivalent fractions, as well as manipulated color tiles and used their fraction kits to model this understanding. I had an appointment in the afternoon so a substitute was here. She read Voices in the Park, a book about different points of view/perspective, to them and then they worked on Ohio Studies Weekly, author's point of view in non-fiction text and read silently and, hopefully, independently. In Writer's Workshop, some were ready to begin their research project of writing their "Diary of a ___" while others used the iPads for research.
