I was only there for the morning today, as I had a dr appointment this afternoon but Mr. Martin was the substitute this afternoon and he has been in our room the last few times I needed a sub. For Math today, we made tape shapes, measured them and then found their area and perimeter. Then, we played Cover the Area. Finally, we finished out Math practicing facts, on Mangahigh or other skills we needed work with. Mr. Martin read The Z was Zapped by Chris Van Allsburg to them for Read Aloud. They continued their workboard work in Reader's Workshop and in created their own class book of The Z was Zapped for Writer's Workshop. In Social Studies, they learned about the three branches of government by making a tree with branches and leaves explaining the system.
