Math Man Link

In Read Aloud, students identified a color to best symbolize Ivan.  This is a great strategy to get kids critically thinking about characters.  At home, encourage your child to pick a color for their main character, have them explain (or write) their choice to you.

In Writers' Workshop, we revised verbs in our personal narratives to ensure powerful first drafts. To support at home, you can have your child explain what verbs are (action, do

ing words).  Have them identify a boring verb and more precise interesting verb.

In Math Workshop, students used reasoning to make sense of equations. We also learned a new rounding game (see below).  One of the stations the kids visit during Math Workshop is the "technology station". This week, they're playing "Math Man- Estimate Sums By Rounding".  This is a fun game, set up like Pac-Man that reinforces concepts we're working on in Unit 2.  For future reference, you can find this game in the "Educational Games" tab.
