Happy Tuesday!
We had a busy morning utilizing tape diagrams to model multi-step word problems. Students worked to "take it one step at a time" when solving their problems. They did a wonderful job and were able to apply metric conversions to complete their equations. We will have a short assessment over our metrics unit tomorrow.
Students inquired into the utilization of past knowledge to organize for decision making when reading weather instruments. They completed an exploration on their Discovery Education app and make connections to our central idea.
We continued exploring dramas as a form of literature. Students examined the characteristics of a drama about a Native American myth. After reading this drama as a class, we were able to locate the same text feature that we find in our fictional books, such as characters, setting, plot, and more.
As we progress in our opinion writing, students began inquiring into organizing their opening paragraphs. We connected our paragraphs to movie previews. We want to hook our readers, give them enough information to keep them interested, but not so much that they don't "buy the ticket" to read the rest of our pieces. Students who were ready, started planning and making decisions about their opening paragraphs.
Whew! I'd say we had a successful day!!
Flyer came home today for F.AVE spirit wear hoodies. If you wish to order a hoodie, the forms are due by December 7th.
See you in the morning!
