WOW, another quiet day in the halls. The class as been fabulous both days for the fourth and fifth graders.  I am the proudest teacher alive.  They are working hard to complete their work too.  During reading we partnered up to practice our main idea strategy.  They read a paragraph and state the main idea of the paragraph to their friend.  Please have the students model it for you.We continued our leads for writing and the students found leads and wrote leads to their personal narratives.  Ask them to give you the names of the five different ways to lead off their compositions?  We continued geometry in math by describing the three dimensional shapes and comparing them to their regular or flat shapes.  They partnered up to state the attributes of the shapes and explain their findings to a friend.  Then we finished our vocabulary in science for weather.
