We had a great day today! It is always nice when everyone is here!
We started with another following directions page. Some had to redo theirs, as they didn't follow all of the directions. This is so important. As they get older, and take tests, they will need to be able to read directions on their own, and follow them.
We made several fractions today with our fraction bars. We discussed, again, how the size of fractions decrease as the denominators increase. After some practice of comparing fractions, we made another observation. We discovered that if the denominator is the same, you only have to look at the numerator to see if a fraction is the largest one.
We also worked with a few unfamiliar words. They were words that the Irish use. We used our dictionaries and deductive reasoning skills to match definitions to words.
We played "You Can Be in My Club." This shows how people with something in common are in the "Club." For example, I chose everyone wearing a lanyard, as I was wearing mine. Then the children have to guess what it is we have in common. After that we had headings on shamrocks. They were one word headings. They then chose the other 2 words from the word bank that belonged with the word already written.
We worked with our spelling words today. Our test is tomorrow.
I reminded them they may get on Xtramath and Prodigy at home. It is not MANDATORY, though.
I did encourage them to write about their spring
break. They could just write a little each day about what they did, or
what they didn't do. Again, this is not mandatory.
