Adding doubles and Writing about what we know

We have been continuing with our Daily 5 literacy rotations this week. Students have done a phenomenol job completing their independent activities, allowing one-on-one teacher time to occur.

Today in math, we reviewed adding doubles. Students should be able to automatically state the answers to doubles: 1+1, 2+2 etc. This will become more important as we move into harder addition problems next week. Today, we drew and painted pictures to help us recall these facts.

We also brainstormed about writing about what we know. Students were challenged to think about something that happened to them today at school. They then had to draw incredibly detailed pictures and start writing about them. We learned how writing about what you know can develop into exciting stories!
