In writing, we continued our work with the novel Bud Not Buddy. The class engaged in a thoughful discussion about why rules are important and why having a job is a meaningful thing for people. Both topics tie into the early chapters in the novel. Students were presented with background information about the Great Depression, and used that knowledge to better access the reading. I look forward to continuing to explore this book with my class.
Students finished creating great promotional posters about the order of operations in math class. These posters turned out very well and they will be displayed in the classroom during the duration of our work on the topic.
Students also participated with Ms. Solomon, our math coach, on a challenging math problem. Students rose to the occasion and were fully invested in the lesson.
Tomorrow we will have our first book buddy activity with Ms. Dichter's second grade class. I will be looking to my class to act as strong role models for their young friends.
