• In Reading students practiced Main Idea and Details. They read a story, Sees Behind Trees, from the Trophies Reading Series. We had a great class discussion on our senses and how to compensate when a person no longer has one sense. On Friday they will take and end of selection test based on the story. Students also had several mini lessons about different centers in our Literacy Workshop.
• In Math students continued to practice division of decimals. They also learned to write answers in standard form and unit form (Example: standard form - 0.36 / 3 = 0.12, unit form 36 hundredths / 3 ones = 12 hundredths). Students are at different levels of understanding in the presentation of Eureka Math's concepts. We will continue to practice so that students have the opportunity to master division of decimals.
