We started our week with a substitute because Mrs. Randall was in Washinton, D.C. Running the Marine Corps Marathon! Our guest teacher was Mrs. Irwin. We are working on morning problems. It's hard work! You have to persevere and use your habit of mind to finish the math and show our thinking!
We are estimating the size and weight of our pumpkins, and then using adjectives like orange, round, plump, stripy, bumpy, short, and small to describe the pumpkins. At writing we are going to write a poem about our pumpkins.
At reader's workshop we are doing a
Reading Well sheet. We are working on staying focused on our reading, and leaving our comments and thoughts on sticky notes.
Mrs. Adams is coming in to paint pumpkins with us. We paint our own pumpkins and are looking for creative designs.
After the thinking about pumpkin designs we paint the pumpkins with great ideas! Here are some pumpkins from our class.
We are finishing our Math Menu today. Mrs. Carry is taking some students to an intervention game. This is a game called
Fudge which
is on our Math Menu. The objective is to get four of your colors in order.
We are still working on our VT maps. We need to finish all the Cartographic Features. We are finding important geographic features in our state.
Working on reading and thinking with packets like this and getting to know you is a reader to help us do better.
In writing, we are learning to Show not Tell. It is going pretty good so far!
Talking about math strategies.
Mrs.Randall ran a marathon in Washington DC for the marine corps. Caitlyn's brother is a Marine!
This is our JES Jam, for after snack. It's squats!
This is the marvelous mathboard. It is a board with benchmark math. It helps us check if our math is neat, organized, labeled, and shows our thinking. Madison and Justin each got pieces up this week! Nice job guys!
We are learning new words in our read aloud book, Out Of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. Nolan is the keeper of our words.
This is some active thinking on arrays. We are working on the arrays 15x6=, and 90/6=, showing our work with the cubes.
Today's Halloween fun jams make it better! Our class members were pretending to be one of the spooky dancers, and following the moves of separate creeps!
Nolan used his strong math thinking to solve p.o.d, it's problem of the day. We had a slim but good reading time.
Fun skype with our New Jersey buddy's. We skype our friends from California, and Wisconsin. We're reading narratives to them and they're reading them to us, too.
Checking math work with our 11:00 buddy. We are connecting our learning with friends and learning their strategies.
Mathematicians use base ten blocks as a visual model!
We played a fun game in math! It's called Missing Factor.
Writers use our writing benchmarks and rubrics to check the criteria for our writing.
Have a great weekend! Don't eat too much candy!
Sydney and Troy
