Tuesday's Daily Report

Today, students:

Wrote about their families in their journals.

Turned in their scrolls.

These scrolls have their published research reports about Daily Life in Boston. I like how even if they got weathered when students took them home, it actually added to the 1765 look we were trying to achieve.

They look very nice lined up in the front of the room.


Next we did math. Today we discussed area and perimeter.


Students did quick research using their student reference books. They shared two important facts with their tables, then shared with the class to make sure we had good notes about area.

Mr. Evans and Ms. Katherine visited to continue the math conversation about energy.

After lunch, students had time to prepare for their presentations about Daily Life in Boston.

We finished the day passing back work and preparing for homework.

Here's a picture of the class time line we made earlier this year. It includes ten events from each person's history.

We have started a poetry unit. Here is the space where we will add our thoughts. This quick and fun unit will include a lot of individualized centers where students will play with words. At the end of this unit, we will do a big project including a poem and a piece of art.

HW due Thursday:

1. Plot spelling words
2. reading log
3. Bring in a published poem
