Week of September 9th, 2013

We practiced two different games this week in math.  They are called Compare and  Compare Dots.  Students work in pairs flipping over cards and deciding which card is greater.  Compare uses cards with numbers and pictures and Compare Dots uses cards that have different amounts of dots on them.  We have worked a lot on counting and ordering numbers this week.  We have also practiced using three different math tools.  They are a number line, a hundreds chart, and a ten frame.

We continue to work on our Daily 5 skills.  We are practicing Read to Self, Read to Someone, and listening using Tumblebooks.

Sometimes there is an odd number, and you get to read to a stuffed animal buddy!
We have been doing some brain breaks to get our wiggles out.  Sometimes we use the BrightLink to do our brain breaks.

In writing, we have been doing an Interactive Write about the life cycle of the butterfly.  We work as a class to write a sentence on a sentence strip and students work independently to write it on their paper with an illustrated picture.  We can't wait to show these off at Open House!  We hope to see everyone there!
