In Writers' Workshop, students used examples in their writing that would help "pack an emotional punch". We jotted "emotion faces" in the margins and revised that area to try to make our audience feel that emotion.
Today was the last day to work on book club projects. They are looking great! I will be sure to share them on the blog tomorrow.
In Math Workshop, we continued our work with proper and improper fractions and mixed numbers on a number line. Students learned to count the spaces in between each hash mark on the number line to identify the denominator (if they get stuck on homework, this will help). To support with fractions at home, ask your child to identify a real life fraction. For example, 1/3 of a traffic light is green, 2/7 stuffed animals on my bed are bears, etc..
To celebrate "Telling Tales Thursday", we visited our kindergarten buddies in Mrs. Lark's class and read to them.
Ask your child about what's going on in our read aloud book. How does the inclusion program change Melody? Which impacted Melody more: the inclusion program or her Medi-Talker? Be sure to ask you child to defend their thinking, refer back to the text.
