Literacy:
How do readers choose books? How do readers do a book walk? These are two questions we focused on this week. We continued to discuss what books we like and discovered new books! All students have book bags in their desks so they can read "just right books" through out the day. Several reading groups practiced books walks. Book walks help readers prepare themselves for reading. We love reading!
We also had a blast with our poem of the week. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Some books we read this week:
Alphabet Adventure by Audrey Wood
Matthew ABC by Peter Catalanotto
Miss Nelson is Missing by James Marshall

How do mathematicians write equations and represent their thinking?
The class has pushed their thinking and worked hard on writing equations this week. Mathematicians played double compare with a partner to build this concept. They had to add their cards together, draw a representation to show their thinking, and then write equations. As the week went on, many students started to reflect on their work and caught some of their own errors. Good work mathematicians!
