Meh

Today was alright-nothing great, nothing horrible. We started the day with continuing to research our historical time periods/event for our "I Survived..." stories. Then, after special, Mr. Buss continued reading Chasing the Falconers. It looks like this book is coming to an end...is this s series that your kiddo will continue with? In Reader's Workshop, Mr. Buss and I met with groups to discuss the drama and the influence Mrs. Parks had on our society. We also read and blogged and worked on writing our thoughts to some critical thinking questions. Recess was OUTSIDE today! Yay! In Math Workshop, we worked with decimals and instead of giving them an exit slip, I asked them to rate themselves. Do they fell like: "I completely understand and am ready to move on." "I need more practice." or "I need some help understanding." Those that felt that they were ready to move on, as long as I agreed with this statement, will be taking their assessment tomorrow and trying out an enrichment project until the rest of us get to that point. Ask your kiddo where they felt they were and how they feel about being truly in charge of their learning. We concluded our day with a fossil game. Ask what the point of this game was and if they were ever "Fossilized."
