I know that yesterday was the real Veteran's Day but since we weren't in school, we celebrated today with a guest speaker. Captain Timothy Brown from the U. S. Air Force came in to speak with us today about the military and his time in the service. I love the way he compared military life (job, training, uniform, etc.) to civilian life. It was very easy for the kiddos to understand and follow. If you, too, are a veteran, "Thank you for your service!!"
Students had new specials today so please ask for any paperwork their new teacher may have sent home for you to peruse. After our speaker, we only had a few minutes to read or work on research. Both 4th and 5th grade students continued to research. While in math, 4th graders did many things! Some practiced with line plots, some decomposed fractions, some found fractions of ___, some completed a fractional string problem and then we moved on to decimals where some did some independent work with restaurant menus, some met with me and others met with Mr. Smith. 5th graders moved on to fractions today! After lunch and recess, we discussed our homework for this week: Thank You letter, flipgrid about math and Friendsgiving celebration.
