Whose Shoes?



Team Enterprise had the opportunity to describe their favorite shoes today in Writing. We created a list of adjectives using our senses (minus taste) as we examined our shoes. We discussed examples of similes, metaphors, and personification that could help to produce clear images in our reader's mind. We also heard examples of leads that would grab our reader's attention. (Ex. I know they're not magic, but when I wear my favorite shoes, I feel faster and stronger than Superman. OR... My shoes could make the crankiest feet sigh in relief.) Notes to help us in our efforts to organize and draft were taken in class. We will continue to draft this evening.

Prime and Composite Numbers were on everyone mind’s in Math class today! The students used the Sieve of Eratosthenes to determine the prime numbers, 1 through 100. Using the Promethean Board and mini white boards, we practiced prime factorization using factor trees.
