Early out for the rest of the week!

Students earned a reward today so we watched a video of Make Way for Ducklings, which is also our book of the week. In math, students learned about growing patterns. An example of a growing pattern is ABAABAAABAAAAB... Students had to find what grew each time and continue the pattern. They did an amazing job! Students had free choice at writing time. Afterward, everyone got a chance to sit in the author's chair and read their favorite piece of writing to the rest of the class. We tried the math board game again today with much more success -- hardly any fighting. Conferences tomorrow. See listing on the right.
