Happy New Year! It was so nice getting to see all the kiddos today~I missed them over break!
We began our day with special and then in meeting, shared a bit about the fun and exciting things we did over break. Then, we discussed our new schedule. Not only are we back to our late lunch schedule but we are also trying to make more connections by adding literacy into our Science/Social Studies block. So, we'll be switching now at 9:30. Our 5th grade kiddos will be heading to Mrs. Tanner for until 11:20ish. Today, they looked at Time Magazine's People of the Year. In my room, 4th graders had an invention focus with Invention Convention coming soon. We read part of The Toothpaste Millionaire and discussed inventions. Around 11:20, we switched for our typical flexibly grouped math class. All 4th grade students reviewed measurement topics (area, perimeter, angles, conversions) and signed up for when they'd like to test. 5th grade students continued working with multiplication and division of fractions. After lunch and recess and a little bit of quiet time, we worked out a plan for trying to fit everything in after recess. We decided to have an alternating schedule (which I hadn't thought of so I'm glad they did!) with read aloud and Genius Hour.
