Team Enterprise continued to work on our Whose Shoes assignment today. We examined our drafts and edited our work, improving sentence structure, word choice, leads, and fluency. When our essays are in good form, we plan to mount them in the hallway separately from pictures of our shoes. We want to challenge readers to match our descriptions with our shoes.
We also wrote to answer a prompt relating to The Day of the Turtle. In this historical fiction story, Laura (our main character), and her grandmother worked together to save the stranded sea turtle. To answer the prompt, we told what steps they took to do this. The class agreed on an organizer for information we found in the text, and our writing went smoothly.
In Science, we are discovering the characteristics of heat and pressure. In the 1700's, the Montgolfier brothers of France designed, built, and flew in the first hot air balloon. The students were asked the question: How does a hot balloon work? This 5 point extra credit question needs to be either typed or written and be turned into Mrs. Haddox by Tuesday, January 19th.
Math students today continued to create factor trees with composite numbers. Tomorrow we will learn about the GCF. Do you know what that stands for?
