"Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap."

MATH
This week, we will continue to review concepts that we have been working on all year through journal work and workstations.
    Math Workstations-(Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) 
    This week students will be working in small groups to put numbers in order,  tell time, and identify coins.

    Math Journals - (Tuesdays and Thursdays) 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.

    LITERATURE and WRITING
    This week's mini-lessons:



    As a class, we will be writing in response to reading There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Shell. We will be reading the story together, making text to self connections, and discussing the story elements. 





    SHOW AND SHARE
    Friday!
