Libby reviewed the numbers 11 and 12, writing them as numerals and in word form. We used base ten blocks to model the numbers as one group of 10 and some more ones. Then, we worked on the number 13 with Libby coloring base ten blocks, tens frames, and objects to model the number. Next, Libby completed timed math drills on subtracting 1 and completed cumulative review questions on the numbers 0 through 5.
Cam was able to recall where we left off last class on Tuesday. He summarized the chapter satisfactorily mentioning how Ponyboy and Johnny met up with Dally and sneaked into the drive-in theatre. He correctly noted that the character Dally enjoys the challenge of sneaking in because he hates to do anything the legal way. He also suggested reasons why Dally made rude comments to the two new female characters - the Soc cheerleaders. His observations about Johnny (the gang's pet) character were accurate and insightful.
Ben correctly inferred that a character has been vaporized. We read about how the Party and the entire city is readying people for Hate Week. Ben made interesting predictions about Winston's fate and the outcome of him potentially meeting O'Brian. We will determine the accuracy as we continue to read on in the book.
