We began our day with reviewing the blog and discussing the responsibilities around responding to the blog. Shortly after that we read another couple of chapters from our read-a-loud book Frindle to find out more about what our friend Nick is up to.
Later in the morning we began discussing what it meant to have reading stamina as it relates to the Daily 5 and each of us got to pick what we thought was a "just right book". We read quietly in our own space for about 15 minutes...we will read more tomorrow. The last part of the morning was spent writing about "If I ran the World" from our own point of view. Mr. McDougall taught us all what the margin was and how to use it as well as how to indent when starting a paragraph...so much information!
After lunch we completed our writing and then began to explore some open ended math questions to which more than one answer was possible...it was hard but fun.
A very happy birthday to Henry! We all hope you have a wonderful birthday!
