In Math today, we practiced conversions with capacity and time. Tomorrow, we will be practicing Perimeter and Area and then review on Wednesday before our test THURSDAY over Measurement. We were only able to read one chapter in Puddlejumpers so not too much to add about Shawn's kidnapping. In Reader's Workshop, we read about Ohio Inventors and are creating their "resume's" which takes some clear inferencing which is tripping the kiddos up a bit. We also read and worked with  a TFK about pennies and how they may be going away because it costs more to make them than they are worth... hmmm... a world without pennies... We re-visited our historical fiction personal narratives in Writer's Workshop today. We focused mainly on revising and adding more detail to our stories. In Social Studies, we continued our focus on Immigration by reading and learning about the Amish and Appalachian cultures.
