Today we: treated the day like a Friday since the students have a 5-day weekend. We had Literacy Block this morning after our Word Work and Phonics routines.
In math, students had a 5-minute quiz on 8's multiplication facts just to see where everyone is on their comfort levels. This task allowed me to work with individuals based on what skills needed support. Students paired up and created their own 2-digit multiplication problems for each other and walking them through the steps. Using their times table charts to get more comfortable with the facts.
Before lunch, students made more progress on their regions slideshows. Presentations will be at the end of next week. Students who are already done have begun "special interest" research projects where they choose a topic of interest and make a slideshow and presentation on important facts about the topic. This enhances their research skills.
After lunch we read the next chapter of The Rise of the Jumbies. Students shared their predictions and while I read, they worked on their visual journals, focusing on their listening and summarizing tasks.
With a quick exercise to get everyone stretched out and re-energized, the class got to end the day with some earned Minecraft time.
Here is a look at our Compliment Hearts!
