Just wanted to let you folks in on what we worked on today!
Today we did some Reader’s Workshop and practiced some close
reading skills! We read part of Morris
Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress, and noticed & noted a Contrast and
Contradiction in the book! We discussed it, and recorded it down in our notebooks. We'll be continuing with our discussion
on the themes of identity and the acceptance of others who are different than
we are tomorrow, as we wrap up this book, and move on to the next, in order to practice more close reading skills!
In math today, we worked in collaborative groups and
practiced composing five-digit numbers in a variety of ways. We then worked
our way up to composing six-digit numbers using various tools (abacus, expander, etc.) and in various
ways (e.g words and numerals)
We also spent some time discussing expected behavior vs.
unexpected behaviors in the classroom, and how they tie in with our class
expectations (Respect people, time, and property), with P.R.I.D.E, and with
social norms and expectations! Gotta work on those life skills, you know?
And that's a wrap-up folks! Cheers, and have a good one!
