Today we began making a plan for our upcoming story writing! Students thought hard about what they need to include in a story, and began planning a problem, characters, a setting that all fit together. Tomorrow we will continue our plans to include a solution and some details. Next week we will be ready to write!
This afternoon we continued working with our math monsters! Today we battled boss #1, Jumbo! Students used their tables from yesterday to choose a combination of three monsters that had a value of equal or greater then Jumbo. If your combination had a higher value then Jumbo you received one point, if your combination was less then 10 over then you received 5 points. Students were very focused as they practiced their estimation and addition skills! Ask your student if they defeated Jumbo!
We have begun a new read-aloud, The Map Trap by Andrew Clements. Students have been inspired by Alton Ziegler and would like to create our own class map wall. If you have any leftover maps you are willing to donate then please send them in! Also, if you have been on any family trips and have a picture you could email or send in then we will post them on our world map!
Have a wonderful evening!
