Also, our class has been focusing on working with one another and what strong partnerships look and sound like. Our class expectation for partner work has increased as the year has progressed. This has presented challenges and opportunities for new learning.
For many students, this unit of study has been so valuable because our ability to read and comprehend has increased so much this year; we are now seeing classic stories in new light and understanding them more deeply!

Last week, we shifted our focus to money. We practiced counting money, making change, and practicing creating the same amounts with different combinations of coins and bills. We also applied what we know about adding and subtracting to money.
In the coming week, our class will start learning about and practicing our measurement skills.
