Tuesday

Our day began with practicing parts of speech by completing Mad Libs. They are creating some pretty funny stuff! In Writer's Workshop, we continued writing our letters to their future 5th grade teachers. We read more from The City of Ember where Lina and Doon told the guard about what they found out about the Mayor. Lina also talked to Clary about everything and showed her the instructions. Clary shared with her that Egress means EXIT so these are Instructions to Exit! Reader's Workshop was focused on mood and in reading The Sword in the Stone, students answered specific questions about the story. We also read independently, blogged and visited the library for the final time this school year. In Math Workshop, we worked on tangrams and finding the area of the tangrams. Students are doing much better about persevering through problems. Finally, we ended our day with electricity and creating circuits.
