Today was a good day! In Social Studies, we read about many different American Indian groups. We then, answered some questions about cooperation and conflict between Native Americans and other groups of people as well as how the Native Americans adapted to the environment and positive and negative consequences of humans on the environment. In Math, we finished our Pattern Block Puzzles and then practiced making equivalent fractions with a color-by-number/stained glass paper. We should be moving on from equivalent fractions and comparing fractions after Thanksgiving break. There was a shocking twist in Maniac Magee today! Ask your kiddo about the last sentence I read today. We had a pretty good Reader's Workshop. I was able to meet with all 3 groups today and with little interruption! We worked on our "Diary of a ____" stories in Writer's Workshop--only one more day in class before we publish! Finally, we took a pre-test on r-controlled words. This pre-test proved tricky to them as they weren't sure to use -or, -er or -ar. (I still find that troublesome!)
Homework this week:
Reading--write more! with each entry; focus on making connections
Writing--research and story
Math--30 minutes of fraction practice (I sent home a packet with games, websites and worksheets that you can use to help your kiddo. Attached are the standards~we are working on the first two right now.)
