Tenths Tuesday

Thank you, Joshua.  Today's blog title fits just right!  Today we dove into our new Go Math chapter.  We wrote fractions. We wrote decimals. We shaded models.  We also corrected yesterday's test. The results will be entered as a 4th Quarter grade, so I will hold on to them until next week.

We also began work on our Woodlands Indians hide narratives today. Each child is creating a narrative using native american symbols. This art project will translate into a writing exercise.  Each story will be translated into English by the author.  Kids are thinking about inventing new names.  Boy Who Stares at Teacher might want to change is name.  Students are thinking about how their personality can be represented by the natural world. Martha may select Rushing Rapids.  We definitely have a few coyotes in the group.  Right now, I see a Gentle Breeze and Blue Flower.

In Science we are comparing complete and incomplete metamorphosis.  We know what morph means, but what about meta?  Can someone please find out? Post your answer on Edmodo.
