3. Constellation Story Planner shown for checking tomorrow. We worked on this in class for more than 50 minutes today as I circulated to take questions and provide feedback. We formed success criteria for a good story together in class today to help fill in this graphic organizer.
4. MMS pages 64-65. Zero in the quotient is an area to be mindful of. I also stressed the use of estimation to help check answers for reasonableness.
5. Math problem of the week due on Friday (No Business Like Snow Business). I expect the students to provide a more detailed Answer-Prove-Extend/Explain solution on the reverse side. It should be readable and include number work and sentences. We've modelled this style several times in class, most recently today during math class.
Here is some lunar lightheartedness from 1972 for our Music on a Monday. There is a substantial minority of our class that believes the lunar missions are elaborate hoaxes. I'll keep trying to persuade them otherwise.
