Today was a very busy day. We started the day with a presentation for the PTO fundraiser. Students should have brought home information in their take-home folders tonight. Also in their take-home folders should be a revised flyer for the Back to School Carnival.
Math: We worked on our third Math Minute today. We talked for a while about how to use the "odd man out" when trying to remember whether a number is even or odd. Ask your student about it. We also started the Problem of the Day. We used a good strategy for a Magic Square, but we do not have a solution (yet!).
Social Studies: We learned what an economist does today, as well as what the economy is. We started using a graphic organizer to take notes.
Science: We began a preview of the vocabulary used in Chapter 1. The students have a sheet that allows them to see the vocabulary used in a sentence and to try to come up with a definition for each. We will continue this tomorrow, comparing the student definitions to the book definitions.
Reading: After DEAR, we continued with our strategy workshop. What great questioners the students are! Our strategies focused on questioning and evaluating for the story, "The Pumpkin Runner."
I will have a guest teacher tomorrow afternoon so I can spend time testing students individually for reading fluency.
