Daily 5:We started the morning with Daily 5 because Mlle. Jessica was covering Ms. Brasil’s class. This gave me the opportunity to complete reading assessments and listen to some readers
Music: Next we had a music lesson with Mrs. Mcmillan. Please see her blog at https://mrsmcmillanmusic.blogspot.com
Math:Today in math children looked at both pictographs and bar graphs and had to interpret the data. They wrote questions about the graph and wrote down what the graphed showed. We brainstormed different ways to help us write questions and interpret the data such as reading the titles and looking at the bars and pictures.
