This Week’s Math Workshop

October 9, 2012

How is Guided Math & Math Workshop going for you?  I feel confident that we have established the expectations for each rotation, but we are still working on the time management piece.  This is a difficult skill for a lot of second graders.  
When you look at my work board below (imagine it on my crayon pocket chart), you’ll notice some purple stars.  These represent the required skills (must-do) items.  When students finish work early during other parts of the day, they are supposed to go through and finish their unfinished work.  Second graders forget to look and just say they don’t have any work to do.  When Friday rolls around, they get super sad when I force them to dig out their folders and show them all the empty circles (aka missing assignments) on my clipboard – especially when their friends get to do fun things as a reward for completing work on time.
T – Teacher
Each group will have a different review skill targeted this week (telling time to the quarter hour, counting coin combinations to $1.00, counting bills, and basic number grids).   For students who are currently demonstrating they have met the grade level expectation, we are taking these skills one step further (telling time to the nearest 5 min., counting coin combinations over $1.00, number grids over 100, etc.)

    Hi Sandy! My actual board was a pocket chart (the one that looks like crayons). My T.I.M.E. posters set is on my to-do list for getting an update and then I'll post about it. Thank you for stopping by 🙂

Summer has come to an end.
Not only is it time to put all of the bright summer things away, but it’s also time to swap out our seasonal books. Here are just a few of my favorites. I’d love to hear which  books you love to share this time of year!

How are you feeling about fall?
🍁 Ready for it!
☀️ Hanging on to summer a bit longer.

We just added this new book to our library and I t We just added this new book to our library and I think you’re going to love it, too!

Meet Mazie McGear, a girl who loves to engineer! Whenever she finds a problem, she turns on her imagination and then starts drawing and building. 

Hungry dog?
Mazie creates The Food-o-Matic! 

Heavy boxes need moving?
Here comes the Roly-Ramp!

Sleepy Sibling?
Try The Waker-Upper Rocket Machine!
(P.S. Mazie’s brother is NOT a fan 🤣)

And when the dog gets stuck on the roof, the whole family joins in on the invention action!

This book would be a great addition to your STEM/STEAM book collection. It is sure to inspire future engineers and problem solvers to find out-of-the box solutions to their everyday lives. The dynamic illustrations also include a fun, fold-out spread along with a quick guide to Mazie’s six simple machines. Swipe to take a peek inside!

“Even the smallest can help make the biggest cha “Even the smallest can help make the biggest change.”

In this story, the smallest turtles have always climbed on top of the biggest turtles to reach the freshest fruit. The big turtles would eat the fallen berries which were often sour and rotten. It’s just the way it’s always been. But Littlest Turtle doesn’t think that’s fair, so he makes a plan to change the way things are done. But can he get the rest of the turtles to agree?

This new picture book shares an important message about using your voice to speak up for what is fair and right. Swipe to take a peek inside!

Where were the picture book biographies when I was Where were the picture book biographies when I was growing up? Sharing the stories of others through picture books offers kids a glimpse into the accomplishments and lives of others in an engaging and meaningful way. It allows kids to see the potential of big dreams, hard work, and overcoming obstacles, while also helping them broaden their knowledge of the world around them. And when kids connect with the person whose story is being told, they are bound to find even more books about them to learn more. 

Here are three new picture book biographies to check out. Thank you to the publishers for these #gifted copies!  Swipe to take a peek inside each book.

Just because my kids are back in school doesn’t Just because my kids are back in school doesn’t mean our trips to the library have stopped. Here’s what came home on our latest visit. Let me know which titles catch your eye!
“The perfect reader (let’s say that’s you) d “The perfect reader (let’s say that’s you) drinks in the words and together you make a special kind of magic.”

When kids connect with books - whether it’s the characters, the genre, the plot twists, or something else entirely - it feels like a whole new magical world has opened. And all of that magic is on display in this beautifully written and illustrated book that follows one book’s journey through the hands of many different readers.
