This morning we did some silent reading and then moved onto Math. First, we reviewed yesterday's lesson and corrected the homework. Afterwards we moved on to lesson 9.2 where we learned how to place the first digit of the quotient. Everyone caught on quickly and so after the lesson students worked in groups for more practice with their individual whiteboards while I called students up in pairs to do extra practice on the board with me. What a productive period! During Social Studies we reviewed what we have learned so far about the atmosphere in Europe prior to WWII. Then, we talked about the Axis countries actions which led Britain and France to declare war on them and thus start WWII. During Reading class we learned about mood and tone in stories. To demonstrate tone I wrote a sentence on the board, I didn't take your red hat, and showed students how putting the emphasis on different words changes the tone. You can try it too! Put the emphasis on the italicized word:
I didn't take your red hat.
I didn't take your red hat.
I didn't take your red hat.
