Only Tuesday??

Well, it's only Tuesday, I guess... We are chatty and social BUT we are completing our work, for the most part. We are also getting a new student tomorrow! Omar starts tomorrow and he comes here from New York. We are super excited and can't wait to meet him! Our day began with M4T and continuing our fictional narratives. Students are so much more focused with using these story plot graphic organizers. We gathered more details about The City of Ember and learned about Clary and the greenhouses. Then, students read Up from Slavery in their StoryWorks as well as listened along with someone reading the story and/or watching a video about Booker T. Washington, thanks to the amazing resources provided along with our StoryWorks subscriptions. We made it outside for recess and then came in and continued our work with measuring and understanding angles. Students are doing great with this and some got the chance to use their understanding to play a game of golf on the computer. http://www.mesc.gov.ws/ssn1/Golf/golf.htm if you'd like to play at home-they really seemed to enjoy it! Finally, our day concluded with electricity!
