thinking like mathematicians
During Math Workshop, students have the opportunity to work on their own goals and to practice thinking like Mathematicians. They choose a tool and decide how they are going to work on one of our math skills. On this day, I traveled around the room taking pictures and asking students to explain how they were "working like a mathematician". I have some really great thinking to share with you.
In this video, created using the app Educreations, you will see some of the ways students are thinking about math and how they are explaining their thinking. On this day, I captured the thinking of Colin B., Tucker, Colin G., Hanna C., Annabelle, Wyatt, Brock, Ayden, Lucas, and Jimmy. It's about 14 minutes, but the gift of being able to hear all the great thinking from these mathematicians is awesome!

introduction to the media center
We visited the Media Center where our new Media Specialist Teacher, Mrs. Dornburgh, read us a story and then showed us how to find our books and use the library.

This is the BUDDY BENCH, where students can go if they need a friend to play with, or if they would like to be a friend.
The bench was made by one of our former custodians, Mr. Foley and painted by Ms. Allen's students. You can read about how the Buddy Bench came to be by clicking this button. |
