It was just a beautiful day! We started with our letters to our future 5th grade teachers and these kids have such amazing goals and personal understanding that I'm smiling from ear to ear. In The City of Ember, Lina and Doon found movable light and how to get out of Ember!! They did NOT want me to quit reading! We read the poem, Who Am I? in Reader's Workshop and then completed the quiz about it...we misunderstood the mood...it was gloomy but we thought it was thoughtful--we must be in too good of moods to get the gloomy feeling! We also had time to read and blog. Students need at least 20 blogs by Monday to earn their sticker! (Ask your child if you don't know what I'm talking about...) We played-I mean, learned-using MinecraftEDU in Math Workshop today. We built homes, gardens, pens, etc. and then found the perimeter and area of these. We began a study of economics to conclude our day with an Ohio Studies Weekly about Specialization and Interdependence and a word search and scramble to review vocabulary.
