Wednesday, November 13th 2019 - Day 3 

- Students participated in a session with Elder Randy. Homework: Ask me about what I learned? What I wonder?
- In Mathematics, students participated in a Number Talk. Our discussion focused on identifying efficient strategies to identify the product. The strategy we focused on was using a base ten fact to identify the product. Students then completed independent practice. Some students completed their exit slip from yesterday and other played a fluency game. 
- Students participated in Physical Education, Music, Reading Centers and went to the library to exchange our books. 
- In ELA, students read the first chapter of "The city of Ember". Students highlighted examples of setting descriptions. (Time, Sense, Location). Exit slip question: How did Jean DuPrau sneak in powerful examples of setting that help to build atmosphere, suspense, and a feeling of "being there"?
