In Math today, we practiced area and perimeter. The students did a phenomenal job adding for perimeter and multiplying with area. However, they are struggling with labeling their answers. Perimeter should be labeled with just straight units (ft., cm, m, in., etc.) where area should be labeled with square units (sq. ft., sq. in., sq. cm, sq. m, etc.). Please help your child to remember this label. Wawaywo, the Rainmaker, received his spiral tattoo today in Puddlejumpers making him an official puddlejumper! This fantasy book is very fantastical and a little hard to follow but we are making ends meet and it has such rich description and vocabulary that we are getting a great model for our own writing. In Reader's Workshop, we continued our resumes on Ohio Inventors and worked on some math based off of a Guinness World Record of the most NFL games at all the NFL stadiums. We resumed revising, editing and publishing our historical fiction personal narratives. These need to be finished by Thursday. If not, they will need to be working on them over Spring Break. I have given them oodles of time and there is no reason to not be finished. Finally, in Social Studies, we wrote journals based off of pictures of immigrants in the 1800's arriving in the United States from the perspective of one of the immigrants in the picture.
