Reindeer Elaborating

In writing, the class  continues to work on hooking the reader in and elaborating.  We have learned that both of these "ingredients" help to make a narrative.  Over the next couple months we will learn about the other "ingredients" needed in a narrative.  

We used the app  Chatterpix to record our reindeer writing.    Unfortunately, Chatterpix only allows us to record 30 seconds of our writing.  So, you will also see a photo of your child's entire writing piece as well.  I am sure you will be as impressed with the kids' hard work as I was!!

More With Osmo

Last week the kids explored Osmo Numbers.  Kids arrange number tiles to build numbers and complete levels all while working at their own pace.  "When kids get the idea that there are multiple good ways to solve a problem, math becomes creative and fun." (Osmo.com)

Caden was certainly a refraction expert, check out his experiment!
