In social studies, we continued investigating Native Americans. Students compiled a graphic organizer which clearly showed some early inventions that Native Americans were responsible for. We are going to start looking more closely at particular tribes over the next few days.

In math today, we had a lesson about the rules of divisibility. Students have continued to practice multiple strategies to solve a division problem. I continue to be impressed with the level of work being done by my classroom.

We also dived back into Bud Not Buddy. Students had an enlightening discussion about the idea of seeds growing in Bud's mind. Particularly the idea that Herman Calloway is in fact Bud's father. The level of participation in our class discussion is great. Students are eager to dive deeper into the book to see what happens next.
