In case you missed Monday's session, we started by discussing opinions: something that someone thinks or feels about something. Our first step was to make a list of products of which we care enough about to write an opinion. These could be restaurants, parks, books, T.V. shows, movies, toys, clothes, cleaning products, or anything else you may use as a consumer. Next, we selected a topic from our list. Then we set up our writing paper. After that, we touched and talked. Finally we quick-sketched our reasons for our opinion.

On Tuesday and Thursday we will use our fraction circles. We will also need a pencil and scissors.
