Aayush helped build our background knowledge (schema) about weather as he read to the class today. Thanks, Aayush! We enjoyed listening to you and talking about tornadoes and hurricanes!
Math Workshop: 1st graders worked on equivalent names today. Introducing the concept plus name collection boxes was snap as students were quick to make the connection with Climb the Ladder. I also used the balance scale as a way to model addition (each side of the = sign has to balance) so making the leap to how equivalent means the same was very smooth. 2nd graders worked on visualizing the hundreds chart and how we use it for mental math.
Readers' Workshop: We finished reading Dandelions by Eve Bunting and wrote out our lingering questions. Tomorrow we will go back to answer them and discuss how asking questions helps the reader.
Writers' Workshop: We continued to work on our biographies.
And...we went to P.E. and Music! Tomorrow we have art.
