| Students created rough drafts before typing up bibliographies on easybib.com. This is one of the first steps of the carefully scaffolded research project we will undertake this month. |

| Lessons on Internet safety, reliable sources, and how to narrow a search are prerequisite to computer research. |
 |
| We have piles and piles of books for students to peruse, but not surprisingly they couldn't wait to get online. |

Math:
Fifth graders struggled through more starter problems in division today. They wondered why they should have to do this when they could just use the algorithm. The truth is that they are wonderful for helping students develop number sense and strengthening mental math skills. Onward! ERB pages for homework.
Fourth grade math
Purple group: We practiced multiplying fractions by whole numbers (like 1/2 of 10) as our warm up today. Then students took an assessment to end our fraction and decimal unit.
Fourth grade math homework, due tomorrow
4th Grade Blue Group: Today we used our recently learned strategy for making equivalent fractions to help us add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. Students learned to use the denominators from each fraction in the problem to create a fact family, and resulting common multiple for the denominator. Some students are beginning to see connections between fractions using multiples, and for others this is a developing skill. A few students had the opportunity to practice simplifying fractions as well.
Homework: Function machines and using parenthesis.
