I was here today but there was a substitute in the classroom so I could assess student's on their reading abilities. So far, so good! I will be finishing up with these on Wednesday also, but what I'm seeing right now is that they get the basic ideas of the story but need some assistance in making inferences as well as understanding why and what the author did in creating the story. Continue to ask these questions of your child if discussing what they're reading.
The day started with completing Mad Libs and practicing parts of speech. Then, in Writer's Workshop, students started writing letters to their future 5th grade teachers. They will be telling them a little about themselves as well as what some of their goals are for next year. In Reader's Workshop, they discussed mood within the drama, The Sword in the Stone. Math Workshop was still dealing with area and perimeter but using shapes created with tangrams. Mrs. Hursey, the substitute, also began by reading Grandfather Tang, a story about tangrams. Finally, we ended the day with electricity and building circuits.
