Today we spent more time discussing the Oral History story in the reader. It's not one of the most fascinating selection in the reading series, but it does introduce the students to an important idea about storytellers.
They had a lot more fun with math. We continued our unit on probability. We discussed the ideas of "equally possible" and outcomes. We figured out that the outcomes for a coin toss were head and tails. The students hypothesized that heads and tails were equally likely. We then created an experiment to test this. Students worked in partners. They flipped a penny 100 times. They made a tally chart to track the data. We then added up all the results using a calculator. There was only a difference of 1 between heads and tails. Students then did a quickwrite paragraph about what they had learned.
Homework: (1) Spelling sentences in cursive. Words are clothes, choral, coral, chews, choose, coarse, course, ewe, you, and yew. (2) Do the study questions on Oral History. (3) Continue work on the math packet. (4) Practice telling the chosen folk or fairy tale.
