Today was a great day in room 110! In Math, we continued our work with division by interpreting the remainder. Students struggled with this a little because they understood this to mean that they could CHOOSE what to do with the remainder. I had to help them understand that the question determined what to do with the remainder and they needed to read and apply the words in the problem to decide what to do. In Read Aloud, we read some poems to jump start our poetry unit. Hopefully, students will begin to gain interest in reading and writing poetry. In Reader's Workshop, we read, practiced our fluency by reading a poem with a friend and looked at latin roots for vocabulary help. (This will help them next year, especially, with the common core standards in 5th grade.) After Reader's Workshop, we headed down to the computer lab to complete our conference presentations.
