Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. We looked at the baby eaglets through a telescope, thanks to Mr. Schiaparelli. We studied about the bald eagle and created a page about them in our American Symbols book.
In Math, we have a giant number collection box on the floor that we practice putting all different
kinds of names in. A great activity at home is to get a small empty notebook and use each page for a different number collection box. Practice, Practice, Practice writing and thinking of different addition and subtraction number models, coin combinations, number stories and Tally marks.
In Reader's Workshop, we are focusing our studies, on the characters. What are we learning about them and how are they adding to our understanding of the story. We are studying Marc Brown as our Spotlight author. We learned how he has used the same character throughout many of his stories. Arthur has many adventures and situations that we are learning about.
