Today was quite hectic at the start of the day due to many arriving late--lovely weather! Anyway, after enjoying Technology Tuesday, we got back into Social Studies by discussing the American Revolution and how Ohio was affected. In Math, we shared our mental math strategies in subtraction with Number Talks and then worked--very diligently--on improper fractions and mixed numbers and what those vocabulary words mean. After another indoor recess, we began our next read aloud--City of Ember. This is a great read that will be used in Science as well as Reading. In Reader's Workshop, we continued the work the kiddos began yesterday with Mrs. Dickman on character's thoughts, words and actions causing them to change throughout the story. Students are doing well with this new framework. Finally, in Writer's Workshop, we focused on grabbing the reader's attention with the introduction and how to conclude our letters. Then, students had time to work.
Homework:
Reading--5 longer entries; don't forget about the Book Genre Bingo
Writing--focus on spelling; about 30 minutes of practice/week
Math--fractions
