We had a great first day back. Ms. Simpson sewed together the quilt squared students made that tell the story of the ABS Harvest Festival. It is hanging on our wall and it is beautiful!
In my math class we explored money using base ten strips and grids.
Our Quick Write was in response to the prompt: November is almost over, Thanksgiving has passed. December begins tomorrow. Ms. Simpson, Lauren, Jordan and Jared read their work to the class. We compared and contrasted the Narrative form and the Report form. We used the grade level expectations to do this. Finally we talked about what we know about quilts in preparation for our written assessment of this unit.
This afternoon I used the book "How Many Days to America?" by Eve Bunting to model our reading homework. It is largely about the self talk good readers do that makes up reading comprehension. My apologies for the typos in the assignment sheet I sent home. Also, students should complete the work for Monday, then Wednesday, then Tuesday and Thursday. We won't get to the Tuesday strategy until Wednesday.
Students enjoyed taking another look at their personal collages before they headed home.
