We had math first thing today and talked about strategies for subtraction. Counting back, counting on, and part, part whole are 3 that we came up with. I had students practicing the counting back strategy using the number line. Then we broke into small groups for daily 5 math.
In reading today, we read Stars, one of the Ladybug books. We talked about what the book made us think as we read it. This is the ground work for us to begin our discussion about metacognition. In word work, we changed a hen into a fox (ask your child about that one!).
This afternoon, I showed students how to change their brainstormed lists into a draft of sentences.
Tomorrow is popcorn and the book fair. If you want to send money in for your child to purchase books, you may. Also, we are making our scarecrows in the afternoon. A fun filled day!!!!
