In math, students used whiteboards to illustrate story problems. Students then referred to their illustrations to justify their reasoning.
In reading, students learned about the elements of a story: characters, setting, events, and problem/solution. We practiced identifying these elements by discussing The Princess and the Pea and The Three Little Pigs. Students then put their knowledge to good use by identifying these traits in their own favorite books, which they brought to Book Buddies! This year our Book Buddies will be Mrs. Browning's third grade class.
On Thursday the class ventured outside for a garden hunt. Students picked ripe cherry tomatoes and ate some as a snack. Many students tried both red and green tomatoes, and every student brought home one tomato for their family.
