So much learning!

We've been practicing the important skills of speaking and listening with our assigned elbow partners! 

Today we shared what we did last night! Sometimes we lean and tell...other times we turn and talk. 

We have our FIRST chunk expert! Nora was filling in a blank in the news book. The word was ___ower (shower) and Nora knew the 'sh' chunk! WOW! 

We actually got to watch a movie with Eric Carle in it! He gave us a lot of good advice such as 'wind up your thinking machine!' 

Whenever we are learning about something and we come across a fancy word...I give a student a chance to come and sit in the fancy chair!!! Today Clara was telling us what it means to 'describe' something. 

Here is Jaxon filling out our 'value' chart during a math warm-up! We started a good counting strategies poster (look below). 

Math problem solving!!! Today's problem was : Sort the bears by color. How many green bears do you have? How can you show your answer? 




Will's strategy is to 'touch each object' as you count! 
Nora's strategy is to 'move each object' as you count!
Brody's strategy is that sometimes you might know a number of objects in a 'flash!' 

Bryanna is added to the HOW DID YOU DO IT wall! Remember that a huge part of math is being able to explain your thinking!
