We had a marvelous Monday.
We started with finishing our
Leprechaun from Friday.
In math we worked with
fractions. We added them and identified different ones. I tried
something I have never done before. On one page it said to color the
shapes that were divided into equal parts. There were 15 shapes. I
told them they would be coloring 10/15 of them. We did that on a couple
of papers. It was good for them to see the relevance of fractions.
In reading we read with our
peers. Then we wrote 10 facts from our book about Abraham Lincoln and the
page numbers on which they were found. The book coming home tonight is
another book about Abraham Lincoln. We will compare/contrast them
tomorrow. Note: See the post just below this one for pictures of students reading about Abe Lincoln.
We went over our thinking
folders today. They are enjoying these.
In art we made monsters by
folding a piece of paper into fourths.
We did our spelling aerobics
with this week’s words. We also used an old list and I sorted them into
three categories. The children had to guess why each were in a certain
category. They will be sorting with a group tomorrow.
