Witzle!
We've been playing a game called Witzle as a warm up during math! The children roll a dice to get a target number. Then, using the numbers from the Witzle card, they create equations that equal the target number. Check out some of the equations we came up with!

Choose Your Own Adventure
In writing we are working on narratives. We wrote a story about an encounter with a leprechaun. Our entertaining beginning and elaborative segment were written together as a class. Then, each child wrote their own main event and ending to the story. Choose from the 22 leprechaun adventures to listen to. Listen closely to the way each child built up their main event with action, description, dialogue, thoughts, and onomatopoeias. I am sure you will be hooked in with each main event and ending as the kids worked hard to build suspense throughout their writing!
