Today we: had a much better focus on our literacy routine this morning! Some students explored a word ladder to work on their spelling and explore word meanings.
In math, we did the 5-minute drill on 9's and discussed a strategy to find multiples of 9. If you hold both palms up, and count from the left to the finger of the multiple you are finding, then put the finger down - the number of fingers on the left side is your tens and the number on the right side are the ones. For example, if you want to find 9x7, go to the 7th finger, put it down, and you will have 6 on the left and 3 on the right - the answer is 63.
We practiced some long division through step-by-step examples and broke off into groups to use team work to solve the worksheets. We followed this with some more catch-up time for social and visual journal assignments.
After lunch, we read a chapter of the Jumbies book and wrote predictions. This task took a very long time as the class was extra wiggly and chatty today! Sad to say, but no Minecraft points were earned today. The day ended with more prep time before some more social presentations.
