Conference night-sorry so late!

We had a good day-sorry this is being written so late. Hopefully, your kiddo has filled you in on our day but here's my interpretation of how things went. We began with M4T and then continued with our writing prompt from yesterday. However, the technology wasn't as readily available so I'm not sure it is their best work. They will have another chance tomorrow to work on their writing with a pretty interesting prompt. After gym, we continued reading Love That Dog and discussing poetry. Jack's poems are getting longer and showing more emotion. Has your child added to our POETree?? We also went over the PARCC poem and questions that we had answered this week. Students agree that they did not do as well as they could have done. Don't forget that they can practice online if they want by going to parcconline.com and parcc.pearson.com. The format is similar to StoryWorks but way different than they are used to. The rest of Reader's Workshop was spent blogging, writing poetry, reading and/or visiting the library. After OUTDOOR recess, we worked with multiplying fractions by whole numbers with some real life examples as well as some basic procedural practice. Finally, our day concluded learning about careers, passions and inventions in Guidance with Mrs. Vidic.
