UOI
We began a new unit on Space (Soaring Through Space).  Today we first brainstormed what we already know about space and the students each drew a picture of what they thought how space looked like (pre-assessment).  We ended watching a video that taught the students about the planets.

Daily 5
The students were engaged in Literacy Centers today.

Math
The students were focused with a Date Management pre-test today.
