Day 30

It is already day 30! Time goes quickly when you are busy working and playing!

The students played a place value game to get them ready for a new Math Work activity that will available to them tomorrow.

The student rolls a die and writes the number in the tens column. On the second roll, the student puts the number in the ones column. Then the student writes the number that it represented.

We had a total of 4 rotations today and students were given the responsibility of choosing what they wanted to do and where they wanted to do it. 

There were also students working at the conference table practicing other skills.

As we finished the day, the students completed Making Words. We worked on the -it and -in word families.

Finally, we read McElligot's Pool. This book is not often read, so it is a treat for the students, who know (sometimes by heart) the words of the most common Dr. Seuss stories.

This tale begins with a little boy, Marco, fishing a tiny, garbage-filled pool. The local farmer tells Marco that there is not a chance in the world that Marco will catch anything there because it is used by the people of the town as a dump. Marco is not convinced.

Join us on Day 31!
