We had a great day! It flew by due to the late start!
We began with math and had a great time in Math Workshop. We worked with turnaround facts and subtraction. The enrichment activity focused on using geoboard models to visualize multiplication facts. We also worked with fact triangles at the drill station and IXL on computers.
We had a great discussion about empathy during our mini-lesson for Reader's Workshop. We focused on what empathy is and how we can empathize with characters through our own personal experiences. Then, we continued reading from Out of My Mind and we practiced empathizing with Melody by thinking about our own personal experiences. Since we were short on time, we will continue this lesson tomorrow.
After lunch, PE and Spanish, we finished our energy investigation in science. We had great discussions and the kids really grasped our past week of experimentation with energy! We will begin learning about light tomorrow.
I distributed EDITING PRACTICE #2 and it is due Friday. The idea is to complete a few each day for continued reinforcement. Thank you for checking over your child's completed work before Friday! Also, spelling is due Friday.
Have a wonderful evening!
Here is our planner from today:
