Fantastic Friday

Today was a great day, I am sorry for those who did not understand the math problem.  We did go over it again with your child they should be able to explain it to you.  Please keep in mind that I am trying to get them to be problem solvers.  They should be able to try it on their own and teach you.  I want them to show you what we are doing in class.  I will be having another problem like this next week.

Reading today was excellent we studied the book The Mitten by Jan Brett.  We made a sequencing activity to go along with the book.  They seemed to really enjoy the story.  Please ask them about their project.  In math we learned a new strategy called partial sums method, ask them to model it.Then in writing we continued to write small moments and study published authors and use their writing to guide ours. Finally at the end of the day we took a quick check on maps, for social studies.
Top Banana Kash
Kash shared his poster and completed his week by reporting he loves to hang out with his cousins Ray and Alyssa.  He went to a race track with his dad and got to race go-carts.  He thought it was cool.  He also shared that he was a chimney sweeper in last year's play well musical.  I loved the fact one student asked you cleaned out someone's chimney.  Kash and the whole class giggled.  He has been to Six Flags and his favorite thing were the roller coasters, I think?  I loved learning about Kash and can't wait to see his show-n-tell.
