Our day was super productive!!  We accomplished a lot - especially considering it is November 1.

We have been using 'Finding Winnie' as our mentor text this week and we have enjoyed learning how Winnie-The-Pooh came to be.  We watched a short video today on how the books by A.A. Milne were taken by Mr. Walt Disney and turned into a famous cartoon.  Then, we re-read part of the book and pulled out the verbs, past, present and future.  We are pretty good at recognizing a verb.  Everyone then used their own books and did the same activity on their own.

Sticker math was a bit tricky this morning because a lot of us are finding it difficult to put our thinking into words on the paper.  The word explain causes many of us to panic.  I want my students to take a risk, deepen their curiosity and be up for a challenge not look to me to give them the answers in math.   Time is given for problem solving and we do struggle but it will be worth it in the end.  Support your child at home by making sure there are opportunities for play with blocks, and puzzles and games to help the math thinking along.

We visited Mrs. Paolini in the Learning Commons today so everyone has new reading material tonight.  Read 20/10.
