Monday

Hi parents,

We had a good day today, mostly comprised of typical Monday activities.

In the morning, the students had Music, worked on their journals, and practiced spelling words. I gave some math lessons to small groups of students during the work period. This week, we are starting to do some work around Graphing. I noticed that the students have struggled with questions that ask them to compare results of a graph, particularly when they involve 'more' or 'less'.

For example - I'm sure that most students in the class could read this graph, and tell you how many students chose each fruit. However, if I were to ask, "How many more students liked apples than pears?", they would have a tough time figuring it out! I'm going to make these types of questions our focus for the week. If you'd like to practice them at home, that could be very helpful too. :)

The rest of our day was spent doing Daily 5, Gym, and work period. That's all I've got for today. 

Have a nice night,

Zac
