Tuesday: Library
April 25 - Back from vacation!
I hope everyone is enjoying the vacation! It is so nice to have sunshine and some warm days!
Literacy:We continued to work on how to talk about books with our reading buddies. Listening to each other and asking questions are two areas we are working on. The students are reading such wonderful books that they love spending time sharing their thinking with each other.
Some students have finished publishing their small moments. They have worked so hard on writing, editing, and publishing. Super job writers!
Math:
Learning how two digit numbers can be taken apart helps us to be more flexible in our mathematical thinking. We expand on this concept by then adding and subtracting 1 or 10 to a two digit number. The mathematicians played a game that had them using a number grid and base 10 blocks to figure out the new number. Everyone worked hard and persevered through this tough activity!
Classroom Fun:
We have been reading several of Helen Lester's books, including a bunch of books about Tacky the Penguin. Everyone made their own penguins on Friday! We had Luke Skywalker Penguins, Kilo Ren Penguins, superhero penguins, and crazy, wild penguins!
