Google Hangout with Ryan from Ryan's Well

We were so lucky to speak with Ryan about raising money to build wells in Africa (and other countries too).  Mrs. Denyer's class also joined in on our conversation with him! Check it out here

Thanks for the #schoolskype Mrs. Addison! https://t.co/odU82TAQ3U

We also did a shared retell with a partner today after reading the book "Hooway for Wodney Wat".

Measurement and Retells

Today, I am sending home math duotangs for you to check out.  Please sign and return this Wednesday (do not remove any of the sheets please).
We have begun a new math unit on Measurement...specifically linear measurement.  Students worked with a partner to estimate and measure using non-standard tools like cubes, popsicle sticks and paper clips.  We then got together to discuss what we noticed and what we must remember to do when we are measuring objects.

We continue to work on retelling stories.  On Friday, we listened to the story 'The Puppy Who Wanted a Dog' and did a shared retell together.  We are definitely getting better!

We watched the book 'Hooway for Wodney Wat' and did an oral retell too!


At the end of the day, we read 'Owen' and did a written retell with a partner...phew! We worked really hard for a Monday!
