We started off our morning with Math Pods. We worked in three seperate groups to complete 2 new division strategies. One station had students working together to use virtual manipulatives to demonstrate division with base ten blocks. Students used Virtual Blocks to answer a number of questions from their textbook. Another group worked with me to introduce Repeated Subtraction to divide. I will provide a video of this strategy tomorrow as this is a new strategy for students, as well parents :). The computer station had students working on simple division questions. Students played Demolition Division.

After recess, students had Science with Mrs. Gale. We then take some time to share some creative writing stories that we completed before break that focused on Word Choice. We also read another chapter in our Read Aloud.

After lunch, we worked in our Guided Reading groups. Group 1 completed the anthology Together is Better and moved into Tales - Clever, Foolish, and Brave. Groups 2,3,and 4 worked on their personal Tales.

To end the day, students were introduced to the Voice trait of writing. We completed a quick write entitled "Who Am I?". We will continue with this trait next writing class.
