Day 6

Today is the first day of my second week, and Monday are exactly the same as I remember them sleepy and lacking motivation. Regardless the day must go on! The day started off with every one sharing about their weekend, and then Mrs. Young came and the boys played a game of whats my rule but with just one circle and objects witch made the game a little more challenging that when they play with just shapes. In RAVE-O the boys started a new book called Sam the Minuteman about a young boy living in Lexington during the revolutionary war. Even though it was a little wet out the boys still went out to recess and burned off some energy before Tutoring. After tutoring was Math, where the boys had an introduction to fractions. We started by examining a hole and cutting it in two to make two part that we could put together to re make the hole. Today we only got as far as 1/2 but I am existed to see the boys progress and learn more about fractions. After math was lunch and then bounders. First in bounders the boys played some cops and robbers and then did a challenge with Ms. Z where they had to learn a pattern as a group to get across a grid through trial and error. Then was science where we watched a video about frogs and toads and compared them to the Fire-Bellied Toads that are the classroom pet, and then we went through the life cycle of a frog. After Science was History witch was a bit of a challenge because it was the end of the day, regardless the boys begrudgingly got through a Time for Kids about farming and answered some questions about a map of the US on the back.
