Today we:

Wrote about the advantages of living in a city.

Practiced our spelling words with playdoh.

Learned how to multiply fractions with whole numbers.

1. I wrote 1/3 x 3 = on the board in green.
2. Students discussed in table groups how to solve the problem.
3. 5 students shared their guesses (as written, #'s 1-5 in green).
4. In purple, we wrote out what the descriptions meant when using numbers and symbols.
5. Students discussed in table groups which approaches worked or didn't work.
6. In blue, we went through each approach discussing why they did or didn't work.

Then, students had did a math vitamin with our guests from UW.

We read two very interesting chapters from our read aloud book. Students discussed connections they have with other books including Wizard of Oz and The Dolly. Tomorrow, we'll finish the book!

Ms. Allegra came at the end of the day and we made a salad with radish, strawberry, peas, spinach, and "class-made" dressing.

What a great day!
