We had an adventurous week studying about Text Features and learning about animal homes. We had the privilege to meet our neighboring class's pet lizards! We learned many facts about them and even got to pet them!
In math we learned mental strategies for adding two digit numbers. I exposed them to different ways to add the numbers in their heads. Here are some examples of adding the tens together and then the ones together. This is not the traditional way that I or many adults learned how to add, but the world isn't the same as back then either!
We had a vocabulary scavenger hunt to help study our words on Thursday. We love to get out of our seats and search the room for the words to match our definitions!
Fun Friday was building day! I let them use their building skills to make whatever they wanted. They had a blast and worked great together in designing and building their projects.
