Oh happy day! We finally got the ok for outdoor recess...unfortunately, it began raining about 5 minutes after we got outside so we ended up with another day of indoor recess. This lack of outdoor recess is making us all go a little stir crazy so we've had some extra reminders to settle down but it is understandable. Hopefully, they'll get some outside time this evening and get some rest in the morning which should make things a little better but with it being Late Start... Oh well! Anyway, in Math, we learned the traditional way to solve multiple digit multiplication problems. Most grasped this way of solving the problems but some still need some more practice and instruction but it looks like we will be heading in to division next week! Mary met Mr. Sequin today in The Beaded Moccasins. He is a french trader and the students learned how Lake Erie got its name. We continued our work board work for Reader's Workshop and followed the Plot Rollercoaster for where in the plot students are in their independent reading. Most are finding that they didn't make much progress on the coaster from yesterday to today and we discussed that in longer chapter books, it takes a while to get through the plot of a story. In Writer's Workshop, students continued their research on their historical time period as well as continued planning their story. They have some really great ideas and I am looking forward to reading these when they finish! Be patient though because I'm thinking it might take us a little longer than other writing pieces have taken. Guess what?! Ohio finally became a state!! We have finally reached 1803 in our Ohio history! Now, we should have smooth sailling because there isn't as much turmoil in the last 200 years than there were in the first 1800...
Don't forget that tomorrow is LATE START!
