What a day...

Wow. I'm not sure what is going on but 4 behavior slips went home today. It was not a great day for some of the class. :( Our day began with M4T and then continued research and writing for their "I Survived" stories. After Music, we learned a little more about the 'insides' of the characters in Because of Mr. Terupt. We realized that the more we get to know them, the harder it is to draw how others see them. We discussed using figurative language to help with these drawings. Then, we looked at perspective and point of view with literary text but with NON human characters. For example, what would your shirt have to say if it could talk? We read some books and then started creating our questions for interview. We also read independently and visited the library, if it was our day. It was a beautiful recess! In Math Workshop, we discussed and classified triangles by their angles and sides. We also looked at the properties of quadrilaterals and how to classify the different types. Finally, we discussed the different viewpoints of the parties involved with Ohio becoming a state and why they might feel the way they did. Then, we snuck in a little bit more reading of Because of Mr. Terupt!
