This week is off to a quiet start. How many people stayed up to watch the Bears game?

Today we read chapters 15-18 in Maniac Magee. We had some interesting discussions on various literary devices. Today's chapters dealt quite a bit with stereotypes and prejudices. The students had plenty of time to work on their worksheets. However, if worksheets 15-18 aren't done, they are homework. Tomorrow we are going to read chapters 19-21 and then we will have a quiz over chapters 12-21. Vocab quiz will be on Wednesday.
We also worked on our candy writing.
Math
Today we started working with division. Our focus today was on friendly numbers. For example: If you needed to divide 71 by 5, you could think of the 71 as 50 +21. Then you could divide 5 into 50 (10) and 5 into 21 (4 r.1) and come up with your answer of 14 with a remainder of 1. We played a game called division dash. Homework is journal pages 104 - 105 as well as study link 4.1

Today was Mrs. Woods's class last day for this rotation. We worked on a cooperative learning task to demonstrate abstract thinking. No homework.
Picture retake day is Wednesday!!
