Marvelous Monday

This morning the children worked on a language review activity.  After the announcements we reviewed the correct answers.  Then we spent time reading and comparing 2 non-fiction articles on the same topic, SUVs.

After that, we switched for math and took a Go Noodle brain break.  Then we reviewed multiply and dividing multi digit numbers as part of our warm up.  Then we did a quick, whole group lesson, using the Base Ten Grid Paper to model multiplication and division problems.  After that, we began our regular rotations.

During the small group instruction, we used our multiplication and division skills to solve word problems involving mass.  During math with a partner, the students continued solving the elapsed time task cards that they began last week.  Finally, during the technology rotation, the children worked on their basic multiplication and division fact fluency using the web site, Golden Path.

For HOMEWORK, there is a multiplication and division review worksheet with 4 problems.

After math, the students enjoyed lunch and indoor recess.

After recess, we began our literacy block.  Today, the students spent the entire time taking the winter session of the MAP-R.  This is the self-adjusting, computerized reading assessment used for planning and instruction.  Most children were very focused and put great effort into this task!
