Thursday, November 7

We started our day with making a timeline of events from our "Diary of a 4th Grader" stories. We'll be working with timelines of all kinds throughout the year. In Math, we worked with Piles of Tiles and tried again to solidify our algebraic thinking. After a chilly recess, we began Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli for our next read aloud. This is one of my favorite books and I hope the kids like it as much as I do. In Reader's Workshop, we played Inference Shoots and Ladders and worked with a problem and solution reader's response. I also took this time to get kiddos caught up with their workboard work... unfortunately a large majority have a lot to do to get caught up... We finished the day researching with the iPads. Overall, a good day.
