I hope everyone is staying safe and warm. As you know by now, we sent home devices just in case school is called tomorrow. If it is canceled, please get on Seesaw at some point during the day. Doing this will keep us from making up a snow day.
We started with math practice that contained several different skills. We also made our own bar graphs. We made a horizontal one and a vertical one. We used the same information so that they could see only the format changed, not the data. We added these to our math notebooks. We also tried some 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication. Again, we went over strategies to find the answer. In one of the strategies, they saw how knowing the expanded form of a number could come in handy. I know they sometimes think that they will never use some of the math they learn. I love it when they realize there really is a reason!
We read our story chorally. Then we read the reader's theater that a former student teacher and I wrote based on the book. They enjoyed it. I think we may have some budding actors/actresses.
We also made penguin books. We discussed how we could arrange our informational pages so that our books would be the same. They had wonderful ideas. I figured the first suggestion would be alphabetical, but they came up with other great ideas. They said we could put them in order by height, weight, and other ways. I love it when they are thinking. We did go with alphabetical order because it would be easier when looking for a specific penguin.
I look forward to seeing you at conferences.
