Aftermath and Just Plain Math

I asked the kids today to play "devil's advocate" for their persuasive essays. This will help them develop arguments for the other side.

I put a list of things we must do tomorrow on the board. This list doesn't even include continuing the things we started on today. Busy times!

We will also be mixing it up with Mrs. Shearman's class a little bit over the next few weeks to get some nice reading groups going. These will be novels--stay tuned!

There will be a MATH TEST on division (including interpreting the remainders in story problems) on Friday.

Of course the kids were all a-flutter today about camp, and of course I did indulge them a little bit. I was really impressed with what they wrote in their journals, by the way. Remember that if you have pictures from the trip, send a CD or e-mail them to Mrs. Schmeltz. If you go the CD route, you can send it in with your child and I'll get sent home to her. The hope is to compile all the pictures into one massive CD or something like that--sounds pretty keen!
