We had our operations with large number problem solving assessment this morning.

We worked on expanding an idea.  We were trying to include adjectives, strong verbs and figurative language such as alliteration, personification and similes.  The ideas we had to choose from were:
The cat was hunting.  She saw a mouse and caught it.
The kitten played in the grass while the dog slept nearby.
The man was digging a hole in his yard.
The monkeys were swinging in the trees.
The girl made a wish in the wishing well. 

The lost boy ran into the school. 

Here are a few student examples from today.

The skampy, slick and smooth black cat glared at the tiny hole in the wall.  Finally the teenie tiny brown mouse scampered across the slippery, cold kitchen floor.  The cat dashed after the frightened mouse out the back door.  The cats owner has not cut the grass for years it was like a jungle.  The mouse hid under a truck tire that was covered in mud.  The mouse prayed that the cat would go inside but this feline was determined to get the little rodent so the predator got low and quietly and slowly crept across the messy ground.  The mouse scared half to death made a quick dash and snuck under the rickety blue fence.  Into the alley the mouse hurried across the rocky, cold wet ground. The cat leaped over the fence, chased the mouse until they reached a dead end and it was all over and the mouse was done for.  The cat pounced on the mouse and the mouse went to a better place.

The young 5 year old girl jolted through the forest until she came into the clearing of the rickety stone wishing well.  The girl flicked a quarter into the well and made a wish.  After she sat on the polished marble bench calming down as the golden sun started to set.

The young small homeless lost five-year-old boy was wandering around so he can leave the cold weather. The boy was losing faith until he saw a giant warm cozy school. The young small homeless boy bolted to the school so he can sleep and also he could be warm.

The smooth and silky black and white tabby cat was resting in the tall bright green freshly mowed grass under the warm sun hunting for a small furry treat. Then the little white mouse with big bright hazel eyes popped his head out of the freshly painted fence.  She spotted the mouse and pounced.  The little mouse skittered across the old sidewalk and made a sharp turn around to the deep dark alleyway with the cat close on its tail. When the cat leapt up and caught it for a nice new snack.


The old man was watching Avengers Infinity War his reclining chair alone because his wife was at friends house. When Thanos got all six infinity stones the man got a hammer.  When Thanos snapped his fingers he destroyed his TV. Then he went to the middle of his yard and started to dig a hole in his yard to bury his broken TV because he did not want find out and when his wife asked he said that it disappeared.

We had a look at our science assessments and had an opportunity to go back and redo the ones we got wrong.

We are almost finished our Mug Shot Composite sketches and completed a suspect profile to go along with our art.
