In Math today, we worked backwards with data. I gave them some landmark statistics and they had to create possible data points that fit the statistics. We also practiced reading graphs and charts. Tomorrow will be our assessment over this unit. We learned more about Grandpa's memory loss today in Heartbeat--he has Alzheimer's and his granddaughter, Annie, is trying to understand and cope with this. In Reader's Workshop, we worked on some spelling, word problems and a reading passage about Snow Elephants. We are finishing our poetry in Writer's Workshop and talked about immigrtation in the 1800s. We discussed the who, where and why of immigration during this time. We will be looking at immigration then and now over the next couple of weeks.
