This was a very productive last two days. The class did pretty well on their math test. Next week we will begin 2 digit subtraction. After our subtraction chapter we'll finally begin our chapter on Money and Time.
This week I gave them a preview of literacy circle jobs. I'll start teaching these during Daily 5 next week. After a few weeks of teaching these jobs I will begin literacy circles. We'll begin reading lesson 16 next week; our selection is titled "Mr. Tanen's Tie Trouble." They will work with homographs, pronouns, and examine story structure.
During science we'll finish our parachute investigation and begin exploring what happens to air when it is pushed into a smaller space.
Thanks to Petersons for snack this week. Next week Owen is on the schedule.
