Literacy:I wanted to share a link to one of my favorite podcasts, Books on the Nightstand. The episode I linked to is about creating a family book club. It's another way to read with your child. Instead of just reading a book to your child, have the whole family read the same book (you can read it aloud to younger kids like our first graders) and then discuss as a family. You will be surprised with the insights our students have about books! They often make connections that I don't think to make. Our students are deep thinkers and love to talk about books!
Math;
We started measurement this week! This is a fun unit. A big concept we are working on right now is understanding in between. Most of the things we measure are not exact. So instead of saying 8 cubes long, we need to say in between 8 and 9 cubes long. It's a tricky concept!
Classroom fun:
The rain last week made for a couple of days of indoor recess. But this class really enjoys indoor recess. There is a group that loves to play with the legos, a group that loves to color, and then a game group. We've been playing Jenga and we love this game! The kids are so good at it!
