Like I said, there are very few "normal" days anymore... In Math, we were really differentiated in what we did as I found that we are very differentiated in our understanding of whole numbers. Some students are secure in place, value, rounding, adding and subtracting. Others need intense researching of one or more of these skills and the majority of the class just needs more practice and a little reteaching. Ask your student which category they fell into and how their learning was different today. This will continue throughout the week and groups may change depending on how quickly students grasp concepts. After lunch is where things were out of the ordinary. Instead of Read Aloud, students had an extra music practice. In Reader's Workshop, I read, It's a Book and then students compared and contrasted technology with books. It was a great thought provoking book and a great discussion as well. Then, I had to go to a meeting to learn about a great new writing resource so Mr. Martin was the substitute. In Writer's Workshop, students continued with the writing process focusing on sentence fluency and paragraphing. We are rounding out the end of Unit 1 on the geography of Ohio so students began reviewing the concepts they had learned. Good day-wish I could have been there all day!
