I'm finally getting to Friday's post....Today we watched a video of the book Enemy Pie.  Again we are focusing on how word choices increases our "visualization" of the book.  We had a Rotation of Read to Self, and a rotation of choice - word work or work on writing.  All the while, I worked on Mclass testing.
In Math we started connecting how the standard algorithm and the rectangle sections methods are alike.
In science we watched a video the worlds Biomes (rain forest, desert, taiga, tundra, temperate forest, grasslands, ocean, fresh water).  We got into a "tangent" discussion on how our earth gets seasons?  And How the poles can have 24 hours of light or darkness?  It was a great discussion with many ideas and questions.  I need to remember to reinforce hand-raising for speaking aloud in class, because 24 questions at the same time was a bit much.
We got a 9 in specials again.  Let's shoot for strait 10's this week.
