Math: Finish division story problems.
Spare Change Drive for Hurricane Sandy Relief
In this time of gratitude, our Student Council has organized a Spare Change collection for Superstorm Sandy Relief. Our school will be contributing backpacks of books and notebooks to New York classrooms devastated by the disaster through the Literacy Lifeboats program. Students may bring in their spare change through Friday, November 30.
In math we furthered our study of division through the story "The Doorbell Rang". Starting with 12 cookies, children figure out how to share the cookies evenly. As more and more people come, the cookie to person ration goes down. Thankfully, at the end, Grandma comes with a full tray of cookies! Students were then asked to create their own story, reminiscent of "The Doorbell Rang". They will be finishing their story for homework this evening.
During Writer's Workshop, students finished their plant research and working on Words Their Way. We also made six pie crusts (yes, six!) for our apple pie baking project tomorrow.
