Minute to Win it Heart Stack


Talk about concentration! Our room was so quiet during this competition. We competed against each other to see who could make the highest stack out of candy hearts. AO was our winner with 13.

Reading Centers

BL is working on her fluency. She has chosen a book and will record herself reading for 2-3 minutes. Then she will listen to her recording as she follows along. Then she will re-read the same passage and see if she can read it a little faster.


TP is recording herself too.
BY working on her fluency.

AO became an iReporter after he learned some interesting facts in the writing center. He is sharing his Videolicious (app) movie with the rest of the class.

Fractions

This week we began working with fractions. To help us learn the vocabulary, we are sitting in the "Numerator" and "Denominator" positions, using the table top as our separator.
The trickiest part so fa,r is remembering that the denomiator tells us how many parts there are in all.
