Our Week in Review 3.20 - 3.24

Math Explore Today

Today in math we had an explore day.  We practiced adding four 2-digit numbers together, we also did DreamBox and when we "worked with teacher" and we worked on interpreting line plot data.  Below are photographs from our math explore. 

Scavenger Hunt

This week in math we went on a scavenger hunt! We were looking for items to use as unit of measurement references. On Tuesday we were looking for objects that were 1 inch, 1 foot and 1 yard.  Today we looked for objects that were 1 centimeter, 10 centimeters and 1 meter.  Below are photographs from our scavenger hunt!

Koodable

We are learning a new technology skill over the couple of few weeks focusing on coding. Students learned that just like we read letters and words a computer reads code. To practice using code we are using the program Kodable. Students can access Kodable using the app (click here) or website (click here). Our classroom code is: LaRoseKids

Our Week in Review

Open Response in Math

On Thursday, we began Day 1 of an Open Response problem.  Today we finished up Day 2 of the Open Response where we justified our answer.  To view student’s justifications visit their Seesaw accounts (click here).

Mystery Skype

On Thursday, we had a very exciting Mystery Skype with a 3rd grade classroom from South Carolina.  We learned that South Carolina is famous for Myrtle Beach, we also learned that Andrew Jackson was from South Carolina.  Below are some photographs from our Mystery Skype.

Reading Workshop

This week in Reading Workshop we are reviewing the routines that happen each day during our four rotations. In addition, we are focusing on independence! This week we have reviewed what expectations are for Word Work and KidBlog. In addition, we have learned how to write a quality comment: make a connection, leave a compliment, ask a question and/or add new information. Lastly, I am no longer assigning guided groups with a number of pages that they need to read each day. Instead, students are coming together as a group to agree on how many pages they can read as a group. It has been wonderful to see students collaborating and making these decisions as a group!
