Ms. Drickey's Class
March 11, 2016
Sharing Math Strategies
Students solved math problems independently using any strategy and then shared their strategies and reasoning with their group. The students are further developing their math sense and discovering which strategies work best for different types of problems.
Enjoying Independent Reading Time
All of the students love reading, especially when they get to pick anywhere in the room to read. They also love to partner read and share their books with each other.
Wrapping Up "How-to" Writing
Everyone worked on writing "how-to" reports this week. They explained in detail how to do everything from making scrambled eggs to writing a rap.
American Symbols and Landmarks
The students are researching national symbols and landmarks using videos, printed text, websites, interactive tours and more. The students were able to pick their favorite national symbol or landmark and partner up for this project. Each group was able to pick how they will present their information to the class. One group will be doing a puppet show to present their topic. One group will be creating a model, and another will be dressing up to tell about their topic reader's theater style. The fourth group is using pictures and drawings to create a poster presentation. They are all so creative and have such great ideas.
