Earlier this week, the students heard the story by Tad Hill called
"How Rocket Learned to Read".
Imagine our surprise when the next morning, our classroom was
filled with Rocket's friends who had heard that Rocket could read!
They wanted to learn to! The students have each taken a puppy
into their care and are going to work with the puppy daily to teach
it how to read too!
We are moving on to working with numbers in math. The students
were using two sided counters to explore the many ways to create
the number FIVE. Did you know that there are six combinations if you are
using two colours?
Most think there is five combinations.
What numeral are they forgetting about?
Right! You can use a zero as in 5 and 0 make 5.
THANK YOU so much for coming to my rescue to ensure that
there were enough adults to help the students as they worked
through the Teacher's Pet project.
They used a variety of materials that they 'bought' to create
an enclosure for their chosen animal to live in. They added
what the animal would need, such as a bed, a place to eat, something
to keep them active so they would not become bored, some water,
perhaps something to climb or to add shade...
No two were the same!
What I love best is the pride that each student took in
their work,
and their ability to explain their thoughts,
and how they executed those plans.
If you were a zoo animal, you would be well taken care of
by these future zoologists.
