Readers Don't Let Hard Words Get in Their Way!

# data[].attributes.body
We will talk about this in our Zoom meeting today!  Mrs. Ward will share the book Alligators and model what she does when she gets stuck on a BIG word!
(Now that we are even BETTER readers, our books are going to get harder.)

Today, find a few books to enjoy on the EPIC! app. Be sure to focus on reading nonfiction and find a few books at your "just right" reading level.

Yesterday, you worked on a writer's web of ideas for your next nonfiction book. Watch the video of Mrs. Ward as she begins to organize her ideas into pages then ADDS more things she wants to teach.

Today, you will use some sort of item for a manipulative to solve the problem of the day.  Ideas include using 18 coins, 18 Legos, or 18 of something else.

Zuri bought 18 Skittles.  She ate half on the way home from the store.  How many does she have left?

*Post a picture of your solution to our Padlet below.

Can you break apart numbers into halves?  Watch the video of Mrs. Ward using different strategies (manipulatives, base 10 blocks, and even coins!)

Try taking an even number and splitting it in half. You might use items like Mrs. W OR show your work on a scrap paper (maybe you will draw base 10 blocks OR coins.)

This will be covered in our 9:00 Zoom call, too. Students will just do some dry erase practice and understand the rule of silent -e. We will also practice marking up words.

As readers, we are celebrating our nonfiction books by sharing out new things we learned. We started something new. Now, readers have a spot in our classroom where we can write a fascinating fact! If you have something cool you learned through your reading, feel free to post it to our Padlet below! (Mrs. W will then write it for you to share.)
