We started the day a little weepy... I think the pressure is mounting with the upcoming OAA's so I tried to have a little fun this afternoon and get them to relax a little. In Math, students worked in pairs to solve problems. In the first problem, two students were playing a game and they had to figure out if the game was fair. That was pretty easy for them to solve. The second problem was more challenging as it had more logic and reasoning involved with multiple steps. We will finish this tomorrow. In Reader's Workshop, students worked on antonyms and met with their book clubs since they were not prepared yesterday and they continued with their Harris Burdick stories. We played SPARKLE and enjoyed a birthday treat outside for about 20 minutes to relax a little. Finally, students completed a government webquest to help secure their understanding with the branches of government and their roles.
