Today was another beautiful Fall day!

This morning, following Daily 5, we did a new activity with our word wall words. We had to try to sort our words as many different ways as possible. For each sorting rule, it was not an expectation to use every single word. Ask me about the ways I sorted our words and together, lets see if we can come up with a few more rules!

After recess, we had math, and today we did some work around representing numbers. This lesson was a continuation on what we were doing with the artist, Mrs. Stables. Together, we thought of 9 different ways to represent a number. They were:
-write the numeral
-use objects and draw a picture
-use ten frames
-tally marks
-addition
-subtraction
-groups
-place value
-draw and label on a number line
Once we did a couple examples together, we had to do 5 on our own. Mrs. G gave us 3 numbers then we got to choose the next 2. We did not have to use every single strategy to show each number, but we did have to use 3. 

Right after lunch we had science. Everyone has now had a chance to test their magnetic machine and write a reflection as to what happened. Now, to finish up our project, we are all writing a letter to Mr. Wonka about our machine and why he should pick ours. Ms. Binks, Mr. Fisher, and Mrs. G hope to send our letters to Mr. Wonka next week. Hopefully we will hear back from him!


Thank you for completing the home reading each night and sending it back. Every morning I take time to have the students read the book to me as well, before I give them a sticker. If I feel a students needs more practice with a book, I will send it home again in a week or so to try again. I will also adjust the level of book accordingly, if necessary. I really appreciate your cooperation in taking the time to read with you child every night. 

Reminders:
-Swimming ribbons coming home today
-Home reading tonight. Please read the book, sign the log, and return to school tomorrow.
