We are finishing up Topic 11: Subtraction this week. On Thursday we wrote our own subtraction sentences after acting out various subtraction problems. The students really enjoyed pretending five of them went to the beach then two went home. Next week we will begin Topic 12: Larger Numbers.
In Writer's Workshop, we are talking about adding Five Finger Detail to stories. It helps to have this visual representation when students are planning out what they want to write. It's amazing to see the detail they have begun to include in their stories.
