In math we continued to work on subtraction with regrouping. As classwork (and tonight's work), we explored three different methods to solving subtraction problems: traditional, trade first, and counting up. All three of these methods are described and demonstrated in their math section of their binders AND on the back of tonight's work. The methods are to be treated like the tools in a toolbox - whichever "tool" makes sense to you, use it! The students are to finish their subtraction sheet tonight use addition to check at least some of the problems. The task is the same for everyone, but the content varies from 2-digit to 4-digit depending on their readiness.
In reading we met in groups today and discussed the plot of their story. I had all four groups working either in their reading response journals or in the JGB packet. Tonight for homework they are to reread their story and THINK about the plot - they will complete the written response in class tomorrow. During our writing time, we composed our first graded narrative piece. We were looking for four components: inclusion of sensory details, proper capitalization, focused on one topic, and correct usage of ending punctuation. I hope to conference with each student over the next few days regarding their work.
