We were lucky enough to have ELF this week. We learned about birds, and their migration process. These students were playing a migration game outside.
We continue to work on our nonfiction "All About" books. Students have been working on writing hooks, to get their readers interested in their books. We are lucky enough to have a volunteer coming in next week to help us turn our writing into real books!
These students are playing a math game called Make Ten. This helps students to identify numbers that make ten, and create equations to represent their thinking.
Also in math this week, Mr. Bouchard came in to help us use the Notability app. Students used this app to show their math thinking. Students chose manipulatives, took a picture, and then showed their thinking in the app. They did this by using labels and equations. Students are still working on this process, but examples will be up soon!
Math Centers
Students participated in three math centers this week. The first math center was playing the card game War. Students could play in two different ways. The first way students added two cards together to see who had the most, and the other way students had to put their cards in order to make the biggest two digit number. At the Ipad center, students focused on 5 apps that help with addition and subtraction math facts. These apps were Finding Sums, Adding Apples, Meteor Math, Math Garden, and PopMath. The last center was working with Ms. Henault on math facts. Students discussed how some math facts can help you to solve other math facts. Discussion centered around adding and subtracting 0, adding and subtracting 1, turn around facts, and doubles. Students completed a worksheet individually and then we played Sum Swamp as a group. This board game was such a big hit, some students chose to play it during free choice on Friday.
Our Word Wall Words this week were look, each, and so.
