Election Day!

Since we don't have school tomorrow, we voted today with KidsVoting! Students first filled out a voter registration form (which was PAINFUL--some kids have no clue of their address, middle name, city, zip code, county...) and then one by one went into the voting "booth" (the computer on my desk) to vote. After, they received their "I voted!" sticker! On Wednesday, we'll go in and see the results of the KidsVoting and compare them to the true election results.

After voting, we began looking for a historical fiction book for our next Any Book Book Club and in Counting by 7's, they continued preparing Dell's apartment for the social worker home visit. Willow and Quang-ha bonded a little too. Mrs. Tanner is out for the next few weeks due to surgery and Mrs. Clay is here in her place so ask your fifth grader what they did with her today. 4th grade students continued our backwards thinking with primary sources/artifacts and inferences. It was a little more difficult this way but I think we all began thinking like historians by the end of the class. In math, we (4th) kept trucking along with our food trucks. :) Most of them have their concept and their menu and are working on finding recipes. 5th graders are working hard to secure their deeper understanding of whole numbers and decimals with multiplication and division. After lunch and recess, we worked on creating our action plans for our WEP goals. Please help your kiddo to create a plan that sets them up for success!
