My classroom is covered in number lines! We began our unit on rounding by making interactive and very visual number lines. We then posted them all around the room. When students have a good grasp of rounding, they are capable of making reasonable estimates. Rounding and estimating are useful tools in real life situations. We use them to see if we have enough money when shopping or when trying to get somewhere on time. We will be working all week to round numbers - stay tuned.
Dance was great with Jen from the Canadian Ballet. We worked on a follow me dance and moving in the gym in slow swimming in jello steps and hot on lava steps. I thought we did a great job of trying something new with a wide open attitude!
Good readers use the book and their brains was practiced again. Everyone had a brain paddle and were using it to begin conversations. We talked about why it is that people have different schemas and why our experiences are not always the same.
