Students work with estimation and problem-solving skills


We had an amazing day today.  Things just seemed to go well in every subject!

I forgot to welcome out new student, Lexi, to our classroom family.

We started with our math activity we started with yesterday for morning work.  It took a little time so we finished it this morning.

We took our pretest this morning for reading.  We also worked with homonyms and found words within sentences.  I also handed out an assignment that is due December 5.  It goes along with the book we read last night.  They have already completed one of three tasks to make a tic-tac-toe on this paper.  They get to choose the other two tasks needed.

We also have another night reading assignment.  This one is The Trail of Tears.

In math we added and subtracted money using the information in short word problems.

In science we used our estimation and problem-solving skills.  We had to estimate how many cranberries were in a one pound bag.  Then we problem-solved on an easier way to count, rather than just one-by-one.  They did well.  Then I told them I had another one pound bag at home, but it had fewer berries than this one, yet it weighed the same.  I asked them how this could be.  They figured it out in no time!

Don't forget that Thunder reading challenge sheets are due December 3.
