Today we started out the day with our Daily 5. Our lesson today was "Thinking Tracks". Mrs.Derodra read the book, Owen, as she read it she shared the thinking that was happing. This included connections, wonders, questions, clarifying and much more. Students then had the opportunity during Read to Self to put their "Thinking Tracks" on post its. We encourage students to continue this at home as they are reading. How do they do this? As the students are reading they can use post its or small pieces of paper to record their connections, wonders, whatever they are thinking. This helps them understand what they are reading. In Word Work, students did at least one Speed Sort and then worked on their Sort and Write. Students were very excited to beat their Speed Sort times from last week. Students continued to work on their letters to their PenPals during Work on Writing. We are hoping to have this finished by Wednesday and in the mail on Thursday. In Daily 3 Math, Mrs.Derodra's group started multiplication and Mrs.Shiels's group continued with fractions. Today we used Lego to show different fractions. This afternoon we started another set of Learn It, Teach It, where students are getting the opportunity to explore some education apps that can be used for their Genius Hour and other subject areas. We also had music today. We continued with our Structures unit where students were given the challenge to create a structure in a small group with specific materials. We saw some very creative structures!
