Another successful day on the Ave. Students worked to complete math talks when solving math word problems. They solved independently first, and then discussed with a partner. They solved a gain independently and shared their strategies and solutions with their table groups. The conversations were rich, as students had to defend and explain their process to others. After a conversation as a whole group, we came up with a solution together using many different strategies.
Student inquired into how different materials affect the echo of a sound. By saying their name into a glass jar, they got a baseline for the sound of their echo. They then lined their jars with different materials (foil, paper towels, napkins, and wax paper) and tested their echo. They did a great job with their inquiry and were able to explain which room would have produce a greater echo, carpeted or tiled, and why. Ask them!!
Our preview for the Book Fair is tomorrow. This is NOT when students will purchase books. They will create a "wish list" that will come home. The Book Fair opens next week. Our class purchase day is Thursday, however, students can bring money throughout the week, and I will send the down.
Have a great evening!
