Today we learned how doubles will help solve other math facts! We can use our doubles fact knowledge to help us solve almost doubles: 2+3, 3+4, 4+5 etc.
They played a game where they had use that knowledge to fill in a chart with the almost double answer. We did struggle to understand the chart, but they did a good job using their tools and math knowledge to solve the number sentence. After, I challenged them to show me 5 different ways for 5+6. Here are some examples of their thinking:

Today we started talking about opinions. In writing, our focus is going to be on both expressing our opinions both orally and written. On our chart, you can see that we talked about what is an opinion? How do we express it and what thinking habits we think we'll use a lot to express our opinion-as you notice-thinking flexibly and communicating our ideas with confidence were huge!!
Get ready...I'm creating thoughtful, fact based "arguers" :) I don't remember exactly how this started, but I'm going to assume it's because kids ask a lot of questions and are curious about stuff! And it just so happens I'm reading a book called What if?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
This student came up with a great story collaboration with his Pop Pop! Pop Pop helped Eli put his story ideas down on paper and Eli got to do all the illustrations! It was a great way to show that you can collaborate with anyone and it's ok to have someone help you if you need it! We are excited to add it to our classroom library of books!
I made predictions based on my "adult" thinking and was wrong! I thought sugary pumpkin pie and rolls for sure! But turkey was our favorite food overall here in room 116!
Today we made turkeys out of math! They got to choose to roll 2 or 3 dice and then add it up to make a number sentence and the turkey's feathers! They had a lot of fun with this! Also got us working on our cutting and glueing skills :) ha ha!
