In math we enjoyed this cute video to get us in the mood for customary capacity conversion. Students then worked in groups on our party planning challenge problem. With the prompt of serving two cups of lemonade to each of their 36 guests, they came up with as many ways as possible to show 72 cups with different combinations of units. They used the actual tools to measure and pour, proving their answers to the class.
Monologues was the theme of the day for reading. Students continued with their Reader's Theater practice and focused on solo performances using expression to highlight the feelings of their character. We took a trip to the library for students to choose a short read aloud to practice for the class. A monologue from the perspective of a medieval character will be one of their choices when creating their own scripts for our projects in the coming weeks.
We wrapped up our series on "the Dip" with persisting through some critical thinking toothpick puzzles.
