3, 2, 1 things you should know about our week...
3 literacy activities we've been focusing on are comparing original version of The Three Little Pigs to James Marshall's version, learning about James Marshall's life, and practicing our reader's theater. The students have done a great job working on fluency, a little acting, and working respectfully in a group. *Ask your child which reader's theater play they have been working on.
2 math skills we've been working on are adding tens quickly as we play the Leapfrog and Fly Capture games and adding on an open number line. The open number line helps the students focus on addition strategies such as adding tens, finding landmark numbers, and adding in groups.
1 new activity we started was looking at a piece of artwork and using the Visual Thinking Strategy to have a discussion. We view the artwork, have some think time, and then discuss what we notice, what we think, and why we think this. We also work on how to disagree with someone if you feel that way. We've only done one, on Thursday, but I was very impressed with their discourse ability and manner in how they disagreed respectfully with others. The conversation was held by them...I simply just helped keep it moving along.
