After a morning of big think, it's time to focus in on the day ahead--a very busy day.
The day will begin with our usual business minutes and quiet reading then move on to a school meeting. After that we'll focus in on the math goal of multiplying with decimals using the US traditional multiplication algorithm, models, and fractions--it will be a meaty lesson that requires good attention. They'll be plenty of time to practice that skill in the days that follow.
Our reading group will continue to learn about Joey Pigza and his will to solve everyone's problems and make peace in a family/neighborhood situation that's anything but calm. Later I'll cheer on our high school swim team and join family members for a special event. Onward.
