In Social Studies, we continued our look at African Americans in Ohio during segregation and slavery and completed an OSW about this and the Underground Railroad. In Math, we kept going with geometry and reviewed all of the vocabulary needed to move forward. We started a new read aloud book today, Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. We are listening to the audiobook on iTunes--James Avery (uncle Phil from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) is the narrator and does an amazing job! In Reader's Workshop, we worked with vocabulary and summaries. Some students still really need to build their stamina with reading so we're going to work on this skill too. We focused on writing personal narratives today in Writer's Workshop. Which event is your child writing about?
