READING:

| Our hall wall is PACKED with projects! And ALL are from reading! |
Today was the day of projects GALORE! We have really been focusing intensely on summarizing as that is our skill for this week. Most groups were finished with their sequence/ summarizing chains, so I then assigned the groups "Reading Kites" where they were to make a kite and separate it into four parts: one part had the title with the author, the next had the main characters, another had students identify the main idea and support it with at least 3 details, and the final section had the students identify the Author's Purpose and support it with rationale and examples from their book of choice. Independently, the students completed their "a Walk Through..." activity and "Taking a Critical Stance t-shirt" activity as well. Finally, for word work, the students were to create a code for each of their spelling words.
HOMEWORK: complete spelling packets and have a good understanding of the meaning of the words as that is what Miss Golan will be focusing upon tomorrow in her lesson!MATH:
again, we continued to work on fractions and the students are really doing well with them! Today, we completed cutting out fractions from paper that represented a "whole". The fractions we cut today were twelfths, sixteenths, and ninths (some students even got to cut out thirty-secondths!). From these paper fractions, we were able to actually get our hands on these visual representations and manipulate fractions so we could understand their size and how they can be related to other fractions. Therefore, we began the skill of equivalent fractions and these students picked up on them faster than I have ever seen!
HOMEWORK: complete pages 93, 94, 95, and 96 from workbook 3B
PM activities:
We got to attend the annual GSE P.E. program and it was WONDERFUL!!! Each grade had a class to represent it and perform a dance to a Disney theme song. From 3rd grade, girls that consistently exhibit model behavior in gym or talent with the manipulative skill were chosen. From our class, Alyssa, Lisa, Lauren, and Tabitha were selected and got to perform with hula hoops and jump ropes. They were FANTASTIC of course and we are sooooo proud of them!
