Today students had time to free write, in order to get their brains going as writers. It also allows us to get to know each other better, as we share our writing. Our other goal is to build endurance, since we have a big year of writing ahead of us!
In math we practiced finding patterns and asking questions to make the patterns more interesting- We watched this video on why patterns are important. We also talked about seeing patterns outside of math- that by becoming strong mathematicians we will be better thinkers no matter what we do.
Our class work took a look at Pascal's Triangle and we looked for patterns- and we found them everywhere!
