photographed, need to wear uniforms. Thank you.
SHARED INQUIRY STORIES
Our Kindergarteners will be listening to stories and sharing answers to interpretive questions. During our shared inquiry discussions we will be learning to listen carefully, share our ideas, accept our classmates' ideas respectfully, and support our ideas with textual evidence.

Coming up:
Our math minute is a timed test that will develop math fact automaticity. Students will learn their addition and subtraction facts through repetition, games, activities and small group instruction at each student's current level.
This week students will work on tens and ones, counting on and counting back, ordering numbers out of sequence, and composing and decomposing numbers.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays students work in their Math Journals. Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem. Finally, a few students each week share their problem solving strategies with the class.

As part of my fully funded project to acquire rekenreks for the classroom, Donor's Choose asks that I submit photos of students so that donors are able to see what they have donated in action. Please return the permission slip as soon as possible. I may or may not use your child's photo however, I will only submit a photo if I have your permission. I would like to submit the photos by Friday. Thank you.
