Lots of brain bursting math this morning to help get their problem solving skills sharpened, but also to have the students think about which math skills they need to solve certain word problems. After some initially puzzled faces, the class hunkered down, put their thinking caps on and got to solving the problems. We then corrected the word problems as a class, in the process reviewing addition, subtraction, multiplication, decimals, fractions, time and measurement. After recess, we moved on to typing practice, and math fact fluency. In the afternoon, the class read silently for 20 minutes, before we dove back into another 2 chapters of "Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library". We talked about learning styles earlier in the day, with that in mind, I decided to project the pages of the book onto the screen, so that the students could better follow along with the story. Our day finished off with the class putting the final touches on their "High Five" resolutions project.
