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 šŸ™‚

Whether you’re starting a plants & garden unit o Whether you’re starting a plants & garden unit or just looking for an entertaining book to share this spring, grab a copy of Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

This story follows Mr. McGreely as he finally starts the garden he’s been dreaming about for years. He plants lettuce, carrots, peas, and tomatoes. But after he goes to bed, a trio of hungry bunnies sneaks into the garden: Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

Frustrated at the sight of gnawed sprouts, Mr. McGreely places a wire fence around his garden. But after he goes to bed, a trio of hungry bunnies sneaks into the garden: Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

Mr. McGreely tries a tall wooden fence and a deep wet trench, but those hungry bunnies still manage to find a new way in. More furious than ever, Mr. McGreely builds a large creation. One that he’s sure will keep the bunnies out. But readers will delight in the final moments of the book as they discover one final surprise! šŸ„•šŸ„•šŸ„• 

This is one of my favorite books for spring. Swipe to see a peek inside along with a craft to pair with this funny story! The craft is just one part of my Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! book companion, which is available in my TPT store (tap the link in my bio).

Have you ever WANTED something so much that you fe Have you ever WANTED something so much that you felt like you NEEDED to buy it? Guilty! 

The concept of wants vs. needs can be tricky, especially for kids. So when I saw that Michael Rex wrote this new book, I knew I wanted it to have a home in my library.

The robots in this book need four things to survive:
- batteries for power
- arms to do work
- legs to move
- oil to run smoothly 

When one robot prioritizes wants before needs, it trades away its oil, arms, legs, and batteries for a pile of stuff that it can’t even enjoy. Fortunately, the author gives the robot a reboot. With a second chance, the robot is able to make better choices. In the end, the robots are happy to HAVE the things they NEED so they can ENJOY the things they WANT!

I am a BIG fan of fractured fairy tales! The Pois I am a BIG fan of fractured fairy tales!

The Poisoned Apple adds a dark, but humorous spin on the tale of Snow White. Like the classic version, an evil witch detests Snow White and plans to get rid of her once and for all with a poisoned apple. However, things take a detour after that.

The witch didn’t know that Snow White was on her way to deliver lunch to the dwarfs when she finally put the poisoned apple in Snow White’s hands. As a gesture of kindness, Snow White gives the apple to a dwarf. He ends up giving the apple to a hungry forest creature. Meanwhile, the witch watches her plot spiral out of control. Can she get the apple back before it’s too late? Or will this scheming witch discover that what goes around comes around?

What are your favorite fractured fairy tales?

It was time to grab some St. Patrick’s Day books and get them on display. My kids may not ask for every single one of these for bedtime stories, but you can bet they will be reading their favorites on their own time.

EMPATHY We tell kids that empathy is being able t EMPATHY

We tell kids that empathy is being able to understand and share how others are feeling, or being able to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes to see things from their perspective. But how can we get kids to show empathy? One of my favorite ways is using books to share examples of empathy that kids can then emulate. When @hangingwithms.cooper told me she had a new book about empathy, I couldn’t wait to read it.

The Sunshine Rock: A Story About Empathy follows Alexis as she moves to a new city with her family. The night before her first day at a new school, her brother gives her a Sunshine Rock, which she can use whenever she needs more support. 

Alexis uses the rock to battle her nerves on the big day. After an embarrassing moment at the start of the day, the school counselor gathers the class for an important discussion about kindness and empathy. This challenges the class to find new ways to help Alexis feel welcome, included, and cared for in her new school.

This book would be great to share before welcoming a new student mid-year, but could also be read anytime your class needs a gentle reminder about showing empathy and kindness to others. A big thank you to Tahiya Cooper for sharing this new book with my family!

šŸ’›What are your favorite books about empathy?

Sloth & Squirrel are verrrrrry different, but they Sloth & Squirrel are verrrrrry different, but they both think riding a bike could be a lot of fun. Since bikes cost a lot of money, they decide to get jobs as pickle packers. Unfortunately, packing slippery pickles is harder than they thought. ⁣
⁣
Speedy Squirrel comes up with a plan - he will pack and add the lids while sleepy Sloth only needs to attach the labels. After packing over 600 jars, the supervisor realizes all of the labels are upside down and the two animals are fired!⁣
⁣
To cheer up his friend, Sloth uses his money to buy them both a treat…which leads to a surprising and profitable business idea. Looks like they’ll get to ride that bike together after all!⁣
⁣
This humorous story features two lovable, but unlikely friends in a story about teamwork, determination, ingenuity, and of course, pickles!⁣
