Lamb Souvlaki @ Opa!

Happy Tuesday y'all!

We started the day out with a mathematical Brainstart: Come up with as many ways can you get 37 using this number sentence, ___+___- ___= 37

During our ELA block, we read two more chapters of Sideway Stories From Wayside School, discussing the idiom, pulling your leg. After reading more about the character Kathy, we annotated important details that exemplified her personality. Then through the implementation of a multi-flow map, we used these annotations to discuss how one's perspective can cause negative effects on one's self.

Had to throw in some math as well!

During math, we needed to go over the reason for Capture 5, and discussed some points to think about while playing. Some points that were brought up were:

• How to appropriately collaborate with one another
• The real reason why we are playing this game (deconstructing numbers and practicing mental math to improve number sense)

We also had our first music class with Ms. Mia! We focused a lot today on thinking like a musician, as well as go over procedures in her classroom. We also brought up the concept of rhythm (a strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound) and displayed our understanding of rhythm while utilizing Lummi sticks.

After lunch, we had time to eke out a word study session! We recognized that the the grapheme wa contains the /aw/ sound in it:

And right before we headed out the door, we had another jelly bean challenge!

And that's a wrap-up folks! Cheers!
