Beginning of division and fantasy

On Monday we began our new math unit of division by doing simple problems (1 divisor and 1/2 dividends  with no remainders) using cuisenaire rods. 

We started our new reading unit in Monday as well. Fantasy is our genre for the next several weeks and students will be reading chapter books by Roald Dahl. To get acquainted with this new genre, we read three picture books and decided if it was realistic or fantasy. If the book had talking animals, magical powers, or events that just could not happen, it was fantasy.
