Today, we continued our Q & A of Native American conflict, cooperation and adaptation. In math, we began a 2-day inquiry about sub sandwiches. They were given a problem and they have to use what they've been learning about with fractions to solve this problem. They are using the mathematical practices while working on this problem. We found out more about Grayson and how Jeffrey is dealing, or not dealing, with his death today in Maniac Magee. Jeffrey started running again but this time, while trying to just give up, he encountered some twins that needed his help. Little did he know, an old 'problem' would come back to haunt him... In Reader's Workshop, we worked with explaining our thinking on a math problem, reading silently and trying to get our research report complete. I was able to meet with all of my groups but one group wasn't prepared which meant that we weren't able to work on what was planned. Was your kiddo in that group? Finally, I was able to get one of the laptop carts and we mostly finished our "Diary of a ____" so that we can visit the Publishing Shop tomorrow.
Homework this week:
Reading--write more! with each entry; focus on making connections
Writing--research and story
Math--30 minutes of fraction practice
