This was a very busy day. We began the day with a discussion of survival needs (tested). We then read our main selection of the week and analyzed the story with respect to character. We then used our character analysis to help us retell the story to a partner. Then each table chose two people to retell the story to the class. The class then judged each retell based on 4 criteria (critical thinking skill satisfying GATE instructional requirement): was the retell accurate, clear, interesting, complete. We then read a companion piece called Mrs. Goose's Baby. We used a Double Bubble Thinking Map to compare the main characters. We then began work on our own Double Bubble Thinking Map to compare ourselves to another person in the class.
Today's homework was again bonus homework. Those with correctly completed homework received points for their table.
In Math we began to construct math expressions, and sentences for subtraction. We used the oral pattern: Whole - part = part to complete our classwork. Some students struggled with this idea.
