Reading
EPIC is an excellent app using here in the classroom that reads stories to your child. Some stories do not read to them, and they are able to practice their reading skills. They LOVE this app and it would be great for summer!
Eric Carle Writing Celebration
Math
This week 1J created a classroom store. Cashiers collected 4 items from around the room that they thought their fellow classmates would buy, created price tags based on the importance of each item, and made change to give back to the students who were shoppers. Shoppers were able to decorate wallets with a partner, and had $10 to spend in the classroom store. Pairs had to decide how to spend the $10 together, and recorded what they bought, the money used for the purchase, and the change back. We had discussions of how important it is to count your change back from the cashier and double check that they did their math right!
Science
Social Studies
We would create a map of something. We made symbols, the compass rose, even some people did the scale. My group made a map of downtown. I suggested PJ Willahan's and Happy Hippo. I even drew my house, Haddonfield Commons! -Alex
