Here's what we did YESTERDAY, Tuesday, March 3:
We started our day with the first of two Math PARCC tests. It proved to be a little more challenging for them as I saw stress for the first time but after a quick pep talk, they were good. Afterwards, we read Chasing the Falconers (I got to read!) and I shared some of the books for March Book Madness that I picked up at the public library with them. I read Pigeon Needs a Bath to them not just because it is one of the picture books on the brackets but also because some of them needed some reminders about hygiene... stinky! :) (We'll blame it on the power outage-showering by candlelight was not fun!) After lunch and recess, we learned how to use a protractor! They loved this so much-learning to use a new tool but also because it was different than the fractions and decimals we've been doing for months-that I think we might take about 30 minutes of math instruction each week to learn something new/different/future or a tool. After "playing" around with angles and protractors, we continued our work with decimals and placing decimals on a number line. After special, we drew dinosaurs. Yes, it was fun but it was also our introduction to fossils!
