Our new unit we are learning about is Community. As a class we came up with our own definition of community. We are playing The Million Dollar Word Game with some community and map words. Our words in The Million Dollar Word Game so far are globe, map, community, urban, and rural. Students are also creating Community Bulls Eyes. Each circle represents a community that we are a part of.
Sometimes there is an odd number of students when we are doing Read to Someone. Students can then choose a stuffed animal to read to. This student is reading with our owl Echo.
Math Centers
At this center, students worked on ways to make ten. They also worked with me on the "backpack strategy." This helps students add single digit numbers to the number 10 quickly because they think of the 0 as a backpack that other numbers can "jump" into.
On the BrightLink, students played two different games. The first game was called Building Expressions. Students had to solve addition equations quickly. The equations could also be reversed so instead of seeing 2+1=__ they would see __= 2+1.We had a great conversation about how equations have to be balanced or the same on both sides. The other game students played was called Ten Bonds. During this game students had to figure out ways to make ten.
The last center students participated in was Ipads. Our new app on the Ipad is called Number Line. This helps students to sequence numbers and show addition equations on a number line.
Students are working on forming their teen numbers in the correct way. Here is a music video we watched to help use remember!

Our new read aloud book is James and the Giant Peach. It is bringing out a lot of great discussions!
Our Word Wall words this week are your, you, and or.
