Today in math we started with a brain teaser. The students were posed with the question: A man builds a rectangular house. All sides of the house are exposed to the south. A huge bear walks by. What color is the bear? Why?
After some thought the students figured out that the house would have to be in the North Pole and polar bears live in the North Pole. Therefore, the bear would be white! It was fantastic to witness their brains working to figure out how to use logic to solve the problem. We introduced Roman Numerals through a video and some practice problems on the board. Small groups worked on the 9-Lines while the other students worked at their station of choice.
Our morning in Strawberry Creek was based around writing and words! We worked on getting one step closer to publishing by revising and editing our stories. We also used the morning to introduce our new spelling program, Words Their Way. Words Their Way introduces word sorts with different word patterns. We will focus on sorting the words each week, using them in games, and practice writing them as well. With some extra time left over, we began working on Lesson 3 of Wordly Wise.
