We had a welcomed surprise with Antwan back! What they thought was going to be a move, turned out to just be a small vacation, I guess! :) In our morning meeting, we shared one word that described how we felt. There were a lot of tired's... Then, we discussed any questions or comments they had about the homework-since it was a little different than usual. We played category challenge with kinds of candy and then said the Pledge and wrote our daily SMART goal before moving into Math Workshop. Today, we completed Exemplars which is a real world problem that allows us to APPLY our understanding of prime/composite, factors and multiples, multiplication and division. Instead of pulling small groups, I did 4 mini lessons and wanted everyone that needed the instruction to pay attention, for 3-and 4-digit by 1-digit multiplication, 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication, division without remainders and division with remainders with interpreting what to do with the remainder. *Most students chose to watch/participate in all of the mini lessons whether they needed it or not! :) Today was Music, lunch and recess and then in Pax, Peter got started on his journey to find Pax, finally, and realized that he was very sad to leave Vola behind. Meanwhile, Bristle taught Pax to hunt and he got his first prey! We read independently and I checked in and conferenced with some about their independent books and they then wrote what/how their book would be different if the setting was different. In Reader's Workshop, we read The Great Escape about an octopus and wrote a detailed paragraph about it with main idea and supporting details. We transitioned right into Writer's Workshop, independently and continued writing our narratives. In Science/Social Studies, we began learning about weathering and erosion and the creation of landforms.
