Friday, February 1

Happy Friday friends! Today, in Math, I assessed the students on their understanding of multi-digit multiplication. The majority of the class is able to multiply 2 digits by 2 digits. The students that are unable to complete this task are at least able to multiply 4 digit by 1 digit. We will be moving on to division next week but will continue to practice multiplication. Keep practicing at home too! In Read Aloud, Mary started to think about her future. Will she ever be rescued? Will she get married to a Delaware? We finished up our work board in Reader's Workshop and played spelling games on the ipods. In Writer's Workshop, we starting drafting our historical fiction personal narratives. We discussed that we need to "squish" the two genres together and this may take more than one revision and draft to get it just right. We finished the day with a video about Ohio and all the great things we have here. They truly enjoyed most of it--very cool!
