Can this week be almost over???? I am having too much for for it to end.
In math we worked with rectangle sections for multiplying and briefly talked about expanded notation for multiplying.  Don't worry parents...standard algorithm is coming next week (that is multiplying like you and I learned so long ago.....)   We also took a quick "check" on the math lessons from day 2 and 3.  That will come home in next week's Wednesday folder.
I started the MClass testing for fluency today.  I thought  I was going to get to 8 students, but only had time for 4.  So it will be 2 weeks before I can send home those results.  Today the kids watched another Patricia Polacco book called My Rotten Red Headed older Brother focusing on the word choices in the book.
We also had a writing mini lesson.  We filled out a chart for our narrative essay.  And we also added to our genre chart with Scientific Fiction and Realistic Fiction.
In science we build the terrarium for our eco-column.  Whew...too much fun for one day.
