Mid Week, Already?

This week seems to be flying by...

This morning, during our reading block, the students worked in their small groups, reading through their plays emphasizing fluency and inflection.  I had the chance to meet with all three groups and help them read through their play once.

In math we identified the total capacity of a container and the amount of liquid shown in that container.  The students worked, independently, on a capacity worksheet and an elapsed time worksheet, before heading to anchor activities.  I met with a small group to practice identifying elapsed time.  There is a worksheet for homework.

After math, the children worked in their small groups on their Aztec brochures.

Following lunch and outdoor recess, my reading class got into their small play groups and reread their play.  This time, as they read, they created lists of props and costumes ideas.  They also sketched out a picture of the scenery they plan to draw.
