The first week of school has come and gone...and we all survived! The kiddos in room 305 settled in wonderfully and hit the ground running. They started with Daily 5 rotations where they practiced reading to self. They also learned about the CAFE Menu of reading strategies which grew to include Check for Understanding, Cross Checking, Tune In to Interesting Words and Back Up and Reread. I always knew those rising fourth graders were fantastic readers but they sure did blow me away this week with their sharp skills!
In Mrs. Little's math class students began the week with a place value review and a discussion of factors and multiples. They moved on to create factor rainbows and identify prime and composite numbers. They were math rock stars!
