Inquiry into Language
This morning we didn't have any time to start our spelling as we reviewed the summaries the students wrote on Friday for Chapter 11 of our novel study. As a class, we read through one summary at a time, discussing some stars (things they did well) and some wishes (things they can improve on). The students were able to identify accurate stars and wishes for each summary. I felt that they were very receptive of the feedback they got from their peers, and hopefully they use this when they go off to write the Chapter 12 summary in the same groups later this week.
As for spelling, this week we will not have a spelling test on Friday. Instead, they will have to write a sentence for each of their list words in their pink notebook. All sentences must have 8 or more words, and the word needs to be used in the correct tense (ex. "play"-- in the sentence it cannot say "played")
Today we discussed what our summative for this unit will be. This unit is a little different as our summative will be worked on throughout this unit. For this unit, students will be creating a scrapbook in class that reflects what they have learned from this unit and about themselves. Today we completed one of our reflective pieces regarding our "strengths and abilities," which will go into our scrapbook once we begin to put these together. We read a little passage that discussed the difference between strengths and abilities and came up with quite a few examples together. After this, students got to decorate a star of their own with all of their strengths and abilities. Later on today, they had an opportunity to go around and write some of their peers strengths and abilities for them to look at and reflect on since sometimes our friends notice things that we may not notice or think about ourselves.
Inquiry into Math
We reviewed what division with remainders means and emphasized the importance of interpreting what a question is asking, along with what each value in the division sentence represents (ex. 7R3). We completed some examples together that were on their worksheet and even looked at different ways to solve these. Once we completed these examples together, students worked on the remaining questions. As you can see from one of the examples below, the picture we originally drew did not represet the question as he had "9 buckets in each package" but originally we drew 9 buckets. To help them get a clearer understanding, we went back to draw an accurate representation of the information that the problem provided us with.
Agenda
- Read for 25 minutes
- Math remainder worksheet
- Spelling Lesson 8 + Sentences
