Inquiry into Language

We began by completing our Lesson 7 spelling test. Once students were finished writing their test they picked a book to silent read. After all students were done, we reflected on what happened in the last chapter of our novel study, then read the next chapter. Once we finished reading the 11th chapter "Harvest," the students were put into groups and had to work on summarizing the text read. While they were doing this, I walked around to listen in on conversations that were happening. When they all finished their summaries, I had them read them to me individually. There were large differences between the summaries that were written. We are going to look at these on Monday and discuss what was done well and what we could improve on so that we know for next time we do this for the next chapter. 

Inquiry into Math

Today we looked at division with remainders. Remainders are the amount of something that is left over. When solving division questions with a remainder, it's important to interpret two things:

1) What does the quotient represent?

2) What does the remainder represent?

In addition to this, you have to carefully read the questions to see what information it provides you with, along with what exactly it is asking you for.  

Depending on the context of the question, you may need to increase your quotient since you need to have enough of something for all individuals involved. The example above is a perfect example of when this would happen.

After we completed some examples together, students were put into groups to go and complete 4 questions together. The goal of this group task was to bounce knowledge off each other to help further develop their knowledge and thinking process when solving similar questions. After they finished this group task, students began to work on their homework worksheet.
