Week 7

Here are some highlights from the week...

This week in Reader's Workshop, we introduced Partner Reading! Partner reading allows for more time to practice strategies, build fluency, check for understanding, hear their own voice and time to share in this learning community. It also increases reading involvement, attention and collaboration. 


In math we learned about adding "doubles and neighbors." This is a great strategy for students to use when problem solving. If they know the sum of the doubles (2+2=4), then they can figure out the sum of the neighbor numbers by adding or subtracting 1 (2+3=5). This strategy is on that they can add to their problem solving "tool kit" to help increase their fluency and build their number sense. By using the number line, counting down/up and using visuals, students can continue to build their understanding and fluency with both subtraction and addition.

We ended the week with a spooky silhouette art project! They will be showcased in the hallway next week :)
