Week of October 14th, 2013


We worked really hard on story problems this week.  We are now story problem experts!  We have been working on listening to story problems and deciding if the story problem has 1 equation or a lot of combinations. Students learned a new game called A Very Hungry Mouse.  It helps student to practice their addition fact skills.  It will be a choice during Math Menu next week.

We have been working on counting backwards from 20 this week.  We used this video to help us practice.  Here is the video if you want to listen at home: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=srPktd4k_O8

Students have been really excited about their math binders.  They are a choice during Math Menu time.  Students may have different work inside their binder, depending on their needs.  

We finished up our first math unit, and we will be moving onto a new math unit next week. The new unit is called.  

In writing, we have been working on addition details to our writing.  We started by reading different books that had good examples of details.  We practiced using out senses to add details. Some of the books we read are on on our Shelfari Bookshelf. 

We have been reading the book Marty McGuire, and participating in The Global Read Aloud.  Students all over the world are reading and sharing their thoughts about the book.  Here is the website if you would like to check it out: http://www.globalreadaloud.com/.

Our new Word Wall words are has, as, into, and to.
