Oreo Cookie Count!

Monday we did our 1st online project with Projects by Jen: Oreo Cookie Count.

We first estimated how high we could stack our Oreo cookies. Then we made 2 attempts, counting our best stack to calculate our averages. Our classroom average was 14 cookies high.

We did our cookie stacking with our friends from Mrs. Maha's class during our weekly integration time. We also completed graphs and analyzed the data.

Today students began using a reading response journal to leave "tracks of their thinking" as they read. Writing a response to their reading helps them to go deeper in their thinking about a book.

We also began writing our personal narratives using the pictures they brought in. Tomorrow they will learn more about "show, don't tell" as they write.

In the afternoon, students took their math MAP test. Results of the reading and math MAP tests will go home Oct. 6 with progress reports.
