We started off the day with the morning message and graphing of the high and low temperatures. We moved quickly into a Math lesson on money. We reviewed patterning and skip counting by 1's, 5's , 10's. and 25's to help us with counting of money. We then completed a worksheet that looked what coins one could use to make a given price. In some cases, there is more than one way to show a certain amount of money. Most of the class seemed to get understand money quite quickly. It is challenging for some students to think that one coin can mean ten cents or twenty-five.
After recess we continued with the good copy of our Community maps. Yesterday we focused on roads, parks, lakes etc. and today we used construction paper squares to show homes, businesses, schools etc. and we were careful to use the same symbol in the legend of our maps.
After lunch we had DPA with Mr. Brutto, came back to class and read another chapter from Tales of Despereaux. He is not conforming to mouse behaviour and being entranced by music has now put him in a very interesting situation. We had an early recess because we had clusters at 2:00pm - 3:15pm.
