Fifteenth Day of School

In Writing today we identified and verbalized setting for narrative "small moments". Students should have been able to select a memorable moment from their list to begin thinking about setting statements. Students who do not yet have a list (which also means they likely have not been discussing their narratives at home with an adult are already at a severe disadvantage to those students already in possession of their lists.

At home, the adult will begin formulating narrative statements for their own memorable moments as their child listens in. If you would like a refresher of how this is supposed to sound, come to see me after school.

Today's Math Workshop application problem:

    Joshua and Rebecca were eating raisins. Joshua had 7 raisins and took 2 more from the box. Rebecca had 9 raisins and took 2 from the box. Who had the greater number of raisins, Joshua or Rebecca?

Grades for this problem have been posted to Schoology. Rubric:

  • 4 Response includes at least 2 types of models which clearly explain thinking with labels. Response includes a complete statement in answer to the question.
  • 3 Response includes 1 type of model to which clearly explain thinking. Response includes a complete statement in answer to the question.
  • 2 Response begins to explain thinking with a correct model.
