This week our math groups really set into place. Students did a fabulous job transitioning between stations. We worked on multiple-digit addition and subtraction. In writing, students continued to build on their seed stories. We worked on trying different leads. We learned how every lead should begin with some kind of hook. Using dialogue, immediate action or creating the mood of your story are all great ways to begin. In science, we took a closer look at the process of selection and how apples have changed over time because of selection.
Next week, we will be going to a local orchard to see how pollinators and the power of selection have worked at this orchard. Please reach out to me if you would like to join us.
Ideas to spark conversation:
-What is selection? Why do farmers use selection?
-What is a Make Ten fact and how can it help you solve 27+44?
-What is your seed story about?
-Can you teach me how to play, Target 20? *You only need a deck of playing cards.

| Playing a math game is more fun with XL cards :-) |

| Math groups at their finest |

| Sorting our words of the week |
 |
| In science, we got to taste test various apples. Some tasted very sweet.... |
 |
| ...while others were not so sweet at all! |
