After that, we switched for math and took a Go Noodle brain break. After that we completed a warm up matching fractions with their decimal notations. Then we began our rotations.
During the small group rotation we solved measurement problems involving liquid volume (liters to the hundredths). During math with a partner, the students played Decimal Go Fish. Finally, during the technology rotation, the students watched 2 Khan Academy lessons about decimals and then completed a follow up practice activity. Those who finished early played Decimal Detectives to practice decimal place value.
For HOMEWORK the children need to complete problems C and D on the worksheet we began in group.
After math, the students enjoyed lunch and outdoor recess.
When we returned to class, we began our literacy block.
We began by reviewing the characteristics of a memoir and reading some examples written by authors. After that,, I finished drafting my model memoir, thinking aloud as I went. The model has been uploaded to GC - writing, for students to use as they draft their own.
While I met with guided reading groups, the children watched a Learn Zillion lesson about using quotation marks in writing and completed a practice activity. After that, they worked on completing the rough draft for their memoir. Then, those who weren't finished, had time to work on their Culture Google Slides presentation.
