Friday – Team Up Against Drugs! Wear your favorite sports shirt or jersey This week and we had a place value boot camp to help us practice the concept of tens and ones using base ten blocks! I was the drill sergeant and called out "I don't know what I've been told, tens are tall and ones are small, first you count up all the tens and then the babies at the end." Then I called out a teen number and they did ten jumping jacks and however many ones were left over they did that many push ups! I gave all the students dog tags with a teen number on it that they were able to decompose the number independently. We had a lot of fun! Speaking of decomposing! Not only in math did we discuss decomposing numbers but in science lab we talked about decomposing pumpkins! Something exciting coming up in reading next week!! We will begin our “Super Powers” unit. We will delve more into strategies that can help us read. Next week we will focus on pointing under each word as we read..."Pointer Power!" We will also practice re-reading if the text doesn’t look right, sound, right, or make sense. We will be working several times with the book “Brown Bear, Brown Bear” to practice these strategies. We will also continue to work in guided reading groups and students will work on building their reading stamina independently and work on IRead.
