Class Update!

A Peek Into Room 14:

Reading:  February is Love to Read Month.  As a class, we are participating in the ConnectED Bingo Challenge that was created by Mr. Sinanis and other administrators across the country. Some of the reading challenges that we have taken on include reading with buddies from another class and writing a poem based off of a wonder.  We are looking forward to writing book reviews and recording mock interviews between characters in our books. Some of the children have even independently taken on the challenge and are working on a bingo board at home.  This has been a fun way to integrate technology and foster a love for reading!  Thank you Mr. Sinanis for sharing your work with us!   

      

Math- We just finished up the bar modeling unit and are diving right into learning about fractions. We are looking forward to using fraction bars, making fraction kites, playing fraction games and integrating some fun apps/websites.  The children will learn how to plot fractions on a number line, order fractions from least to greatest and find equivalent fractions.  Thank you for sending back Edition A of the Math In Focus textbook.  Edition B has been sent home to help with the upcoming units.  

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Winter Break!
