Week of October 7th, 2013

We celebrated making our paws point goal from last week by having a freeze dance party on Monday!

We are working on combination story problems.  For example, I have 7 vegetables.  Some are carrots and some are cucumbers.  How many of each could I have?  Students worked in groups to build the different combinations with unifix cubes.  We took pictures of their models to hang on our Marvelous Math Wall.  Students are working on representing the combinations on paper.

Mr. Lane has taught us all of the Unthinkables!

Math Menu and Daily 5 are up and running!  Students pick two Daily 5 centers and one Math Menu center each day that we have it.  The top of the board tells the choices for that day or week.  Eventually I will be running small math groups at this time while students work independently.

The bottom of the board is where students sign up for their choices.

Our Word Wall words are growing!  This week we added his and of.
