Yay! Mr. Potato Head has eyes and a nose! Anyway, in Math, we continued to practice and review probability and fractions. I saw some light bulbs flick on as well as others growing brighter and am hopeful that it shows in the assessment tomorrow! Please help your child practice fractions and probability tonight. They are still learning what it means to study and practice for Math tests. In Read Aloud, someone the same age as Mary tried to befriend her and although she longs for companionship, she is not quite there yet with the acceptance of her place as a member of the tribe. In Reader's Workshop, students read and caught up on work for the beginning of the time and then met for their Book Clubs. Some kiddos are gaining the independence and joy for these meetings while a few others still need some help to see that reading can be enjoyable and entertaining. In Writer's Workshop, we began a fictional narrative for a specific setting. When finished, we will be hanging these up and trying to match them to the settings they were written for. Finally, we ended our day with Guidance. Mrs. Vidic read and discussed virtues.
