Quick blog

Hello,

This is going to be quick tonight.  We read Me On the Map by Joan Sweeney together.  It is about a girl and her place in the world.  She shows a map of her room, and a map of her house, her street, her town, her state, her country and her world.  We used this as a launching point to create a series of concentric circles that will display our places in the world.  Some students may need to get their street addresses from you for their own circle project.  We plan to cut out circles out of construction paper and place our picture in the middle.  Each circle will represent a wider boundary in which we live: our street, town, county, state, country, continent, etc. 

In math most classes are working on a combination of place value and addition.  A few of my students definitely need more practice rewriting horizontal addition problems so that digits are lined up properly.

Reminder: Tomorrow is a 1pm release.

I've got to run.  I'm going to dinner then I'll be attending a:
