The children may have told you but I was out yesterday afternoon sick, but not before I fell off my chair and scared them half to death! I went to the doctor and have a sinus infection and I'm seriously surprised that my head hasn't exploded yet as it feels like it could happen at any moment. Luckily, I think I'm going to live! Anyway, here's what the last two days entailed:
Yesterday, we began a story using Lego StoryStarter prompts that will allow for dialogue. We created our designs yesterday and today. Then, in Reader's Workshop, we focused on identifying text structures, read and blogged. (Our blogs are getting caught up!) In Math Workshop, we put capacity measurements on a number line to help see how many cups in a pint? cups in a quart? quarts in a gallon? We also discussed how this number line reminds us of fractions and decimals and their equivalences. Aha! :) To end math for today, students discovered how many months, days, seasons, hours and even seconds old they are! (I was very sad to learn that I am 13,140 days old...) Finally, our days ended with completing our Immigration mini-project showing the following statement: Explain how Ohio's population is increasingly reflective of the cultural diversity of the United States.
