And we have LOTS to do before then…
Today we had "go with the flow Monday!". It proved to be very popular and just meant that we did things in a strange order and some for longer than others. Doing this, we were able to get a few things completed before our NEW STUDENT starts with us on Wednesday.
Check our our Explorer bulletin board (below). Each pair of students did a great presentation on their explorer today. We all took notes and we will have a test on Wednesday. There is also a study guide coming home today (just in case the notes were not a thorough as they should have been). I am proud of the research and hard work that went into this project.
Today we learned the standard algorithm for two digit x two digit multiplication. You may now speak about it with your mathematician. Phew! We will spend a few days working on practicing this and reviewing this year so far.
In reading workshop, we will be wrapping up the NF expository text structures and working on smaller NF readings. My readers seem to be enjoying themselves with this unit!
Our Essay topics will be chosen tomorrow for their BIG essay. We have spent a lot of time looking at ways to generate ideas/topics and develop their thoughts. We have a nice list of phrases that help with this in our Writer's Notebooks. We will have writing HW Tuesday and Wednesday this week about elaborating our thinking.
Thank you for everything you do at home to support your learner!!!
