Going well

A ordinary but pleasant Monday. We began with Reader's Workshop. After the Pledge of Allegiance, we shared what we had done with weekend. We continued with Writer's Workshop. We concluded with a short quiz over "Cobbler" and read through "The Golden Touch", a retelling of the King Midas Story.

We went to Tech Center today where students imagined their own dinosaurs and drew them in Kid Pix. Lunch time was a little exciting when a bee nest was discovered in one of the Chinese elm trees on the yard. Once the hysteria died down, we had our PE. We concluded with our discussion in math time of putting fractions in simplest form. I think about half of the students get the idea. That's pretty good for the first day!

Homework:
(1) Math, page 506, #8-30 only. Answers MUST be in SIMPLEST FORM. (2) Plural Forms worksheet. (3) Crossword puzzle.
