Dobb 12/17

Resource ELA:

We continued watching "A Christmas Carol".  We compared and contrasted the classic play and the movie, in addition to extending our list of themes (lessons learned) from the story.

HW:  Read 20 minutes


Resource Math:

We calculated the unit rate of the parts of an object, using division steps and pictures.

HW:  Using the problem solving sheet, students should add up that grand total for the price of the snowman.  

Resource Guided Studies:

It's test taking tuesday!  Many students needed time to continue problem solving through their math assessments.  Many needed to remember to show work when doing so to receive credit for their thinking.

We also started a list of activities that students have found helpful for studying in the past.  Topping the list was playing a game.  For example, answering a question and getting to take a b-ball shot or answering a questions and getting to move a certain number of spaces.

HW:  Productivity Checklist

Best wishes to all the MP3 students in their concert tonight!  :)
