Counting Coins

A main focus for us this week was counting coins.  We started off the week with nickels and pennies and then moved on to dimes and quarters.  We practiced recognizing the coins and counting them. We even played some math games to help us.

Our question in reading this week was "What do heroes do?"

We read about some very interesting people like Rudy Garcia-Tolson.  He was born with birth defects and has his legs amputated. He became the youngest competitor in an Ironman race.  He is currently training to compete in his third paralympics.

The students practice their opinion writing skills this week with the topic of the best book they have read.  They had to give four reasons and cite text evidence for why they felt that book was their favorite.  They did a great job and the illustrations were fantastic!!

The students are continuing to work on their habitat projects in science.  They have finished writing and typing their reports.  Next week, they will make a poster of their habitat and present to the rest of the class.  

Have a great weekend.
