Literacy:

During readers workshop students continued building stamina with readers to myself.  We also practiced reading with partners.  The children also practiced this skill while kids took turns meeting with me for conferencing.

Math:

In math we started working on addition and subtraction story problems.  As mathematicians we had to think about what was happening in the story to know if we were going to put the numbers togerther(add) or take the numbers apart(subtract).  The children are working on writing an equation and representing our thinking in an organized way.

Story Teller/Author:

We were able to see the amazing storyteller/author Bill Jameson last Monday. He told us a a story about a unicorn king. The kids and adults enjoyed every minute of his story.
