A number of items were returned this morning. Our final journey into the world of multiplication tables will be put to the test once we begin working on some word problems and applying those skills. Word problems seem to cause students, regardless of ability of designation, the most amount of difficulty. It has to do with comprehending the question (Language) and doing the arithmetic (Math).
All of the students are capable of adding digits without carrying and I will assess the students tomorrow --
not for grades-- to see how well they can do this. Depending on the difficulty the students have with this, I will formally teach a lesson.
In the afternoon, we began to talk a little bit about the Health project. To keep students research and thinking focused, a potential topic needs to be narrowed down. We will use a question framework to organize the ideas and thoughts the students may have about a topic. Here is the chart:
We also had our weekly visit with the Kindergarten class for Reading Buddies. Here are some photos:
Homework: In your Language book, write what Health topic you selected and make a few (3 or more) jot notes on why you selected this topic.
