Math

Here are some photos of our number corner and the work that the students have been doing with fact families. During number corner we have been focusing on fractions, telling time, and place value.  There are also some photos of the fact families that we have been working on this past week.  Students created these equations to match pictures that had two parts and a total.  We use the term fact families to learn about the relationship between numbers.  The term is not as important as the overall concept, which is the relationship between addition and subtraction.  Building this concept provides more understanding of how to use addition to solve subtraction and how to solve for unknown numbers.  

Readers Workshop

During readers workshop, we have continued to build our good reading habits that help us to decode challenging words and read with stronger fluency and comprehension of the text. As students practice these habits, they build a repertoire of strategies to choose from that strengthen reading skills. Here are some photos of our readers enjoying their stories and practicing their good habits. There are also pictures of our class charts with the language we use to name these habits. Celebrate your reader! This group has been working hard! Happy Reading!!! 😃

FUN-O-Ween!

Here are some photos of our class enjoying some Halloween fun! We played musical chairs, eye-ball toss, witches hat ring toss, ghostly bingo, and heard a spooky story. The kids had a lot of fun and came to school the next day with lots of stories of their Halloween tricks and treats! 🎃
