Week 5

All of the first grade teachers and students came together to build the first grade vermi-composting bin!  Then, we got to observe some red wigglers up close as we learned about worm anatomy.

In math we've been working on and sharing our strategies to solve number stories.  Some strategies include:
Counting on
Using the turn around rule
Using a number grid
Drawing it out
Counting back
Punching it out

We've really upped our stamina in readers workshop this week!  Students have been practicing reading just right books on their own and with a partner.

We had our first whole school community meeting this week!
