Bushart's Brilliant Bunch

Day 21: Today's math lesson opened with a review of identifying between what two ______s a number is located. Then we started moving into using these boundary numbers to help us round numbers. Small steps, but we're moving in the right direction of understanding!

Day 21: After days of planning, my brilliant bunch FINALLY had all the pieces in order to write their food memory personal narrative. They put pencils to paper and wrote and wrote. I'm so proud of them! As they finished, they used a checklist before handing in their narrative.

Day 21: We launched our Amplify CKLA lesson today with a review of how to punctuate dialogue. Then students were challenged to write two sentences with dialogue that they can include in their food memory narratives.

Day 20: Our AC was broken this afternoon. On an 85 degree afternoon no less! Despite the heat, my brilliant bunch did a fantastic job making sense of the question, "What is this number between?" as we prepare to move into rounding.

Day 20: For the other part of today's Amplify CKLA lesson, we learned rules for punctuating dialogue. Tomorrow we'll attempt to write some dialogue to include in our food memory narratives.
