Questioning and Calculators

Turn and talk and share with your partner a question you have.

Hey, that is the 10's place!

"I made a million!!!!"

Today the children practiced asking "thick" before, during, and after reading questions. As we read  Fly Away Home.
What a thick question? One that is meaningful and about the text. One that digs deep into the story.
We are practicing asking questions in both fiction and non-fiction text.  Please encourage your child to apply this strategy at home when they are reading.  You will quickly be able to see if they comprehend what is being read.
In math today we learned about the calculators functions.  This lesson quickly turned into a lesson about place value and we even got in some adding.
