Math
We learned a new game called Cover Up. One player covers up some of the 18 counters and the other player must figure out how many are covered based on the number of counters they see showing.
We recorded our results and made sure the number covered + the number showing = 18.
We demonstrated the game on the SmartBoard first. It was fun to play together and to explain the rules of the game before students played with a partner. They will be bringing this game home to play with family members this week.
It is so awesome to receive free books from Scholastic Book Clubs. Thanks to all of you who order from the book order for your children. The kids really love getting new books at school, and we love the points the classroom earns for free books!
Writing
During writing this week, we wrote animal fantasy stories. It was so fun to share our ideas with our neighbors. We used this time to get advice from them as well. Our neighbors offered advice on events in the story, names of characters, or even titles of our stories.
Language Arts
Here students are making lists of antonyms pairs.
We also practiced our long /e/ words with marker boards. We chose our favorite words to put together in sentences.
