Meaningful Mess Monday

Today we read one of my favorite pieces in Journeys.  Me and Uncle Romie is realistic fiction that was inspired by the life and work of artist Romaine Bearden.  We discussed point of view, perspective, and talked about how an artist's experiences may influence his or her art work.

We spent more time on double digit multiplication too.  Those boxes, combined with the partial products method, really make this skill easier!

Thanks to all of the offers for field trip help! We have Sydney's mom and Elizabeth's mom joining us this time.  Don't forget that all forms and fees are due on Friday!
