We began our day with math for a change. Today was the last
lesson of our geometry unit. We used a strategy called " make a
model" to solve a word problem. We used snap cubes to model all the
possible ways to build a rectangular prism that had a volume of 36 cubes. We
also began review work to prepare for Monday's unit test.
In arithmetic, students learned to do long division where
the dividend is a money amount. They remember to place the decimal point
accurately in the quotient.
In our story telling unit, we continued with paragraph
writing. Today students were prompted to write a story paragraph on a topic of
their choice. They used a rubric to guide their work. We added more
requirements to the rubric. Students had to describe the setting, characters, and
add a beginning, middle, and end to their story. We reflected on how Roald Dahl
vividly described the setting and characters in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
In language, we learned that adding an apostrophe and s ('s)
to a word shows possession. Children practiced writing possessive words and
correcting the punctuation in sentences. All students complete their language
in class.
We ended the day enjoying some of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Half-Minute Horrors.
