During math today, we worked at making change. We used dollars and dimes to "buy" items. Then our partner, the shop keeper, gave us change using pennies.
We read Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert. It is a story told with tangrams. The students then got to use 7 tangrams to recreate the animals from the story. Some of these puzzles were very tricky!
If you would peek in our room between 10:30-11:40 each day, you would see amazing readers at work! The first graders are making great progress during independent, partner, small group and large group reading times. Enjoy your growing reader!
