Antonio was our child of the day and read The Day the Sky Fell Down. The class was able to make connections to the Chicken Little story. Look for his video tonight on the website.
We ran out of time to interpret the data from the survey so we will do that tomorrow morning. Antonio will have our next question.
We read Puss 'N Boots today with the idea of summarizing. Summarizing, first helps us get the story into our long term memory. But it is suface level comprehension. I've told the class we are going to dig deeper (synthesis) beginning next week with our instruction. I've also told them they are already doing synthesis, but we are going to even dig further! One student said "It's like we are past the suface, and into the shallow water!" Yes! Exactly! They are very anxious to get started.
In writing I modeled taking my notes and writing about Asia. Then the students went out and either continued taking notes or began sorting.
During Math, juniors worked on fractions of groups using money and seniors worked on capacity. When you are cooking, and using liquid measurement, please include them and let them measure as well as convert measurement so they learn in a real life situation.
Tomorrow will be very busy. In addition to music and art, we have library. It had to be rescheduled from today because of events in the library.
Have a good evening.
