| Things got real this week. |
- completed our Arrays and Shares math assessment
- changed base groups
- dedicated the Elementary Building
- launched new unit of inquiry based on the theme: Where We are in Time and Place with a focus on migration; Central Idea: Human Migration is a Response to challenges, risks, and opportunities.
- completed four activities to guide students to look from different perspectives about migration by altering the structure and routines of their day (I am sure you heard about this!)
- focusing on inferences and summary writing in book clubs
- started a new read aloud, Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan about a young girl who is forced to migrate
- dissected a fetal pig
- tackled division word problems and used multiple strategies to solve them: visualize the problem, inverse operation (i.e. multiplication) to check reasonableness of quotients, and others
- Book shares rocked and are getting better. Riccardo shared a very personal and memorable scene from his November book, Names in a Jar.
Enjoy the weather. It is warm and cold at the same time:)
