Today we did a lot of work! This morning we learned about area in math. Area is the amount of space inside an shape - like the tiles on a floor. We found the area by counting square tiles, using repeated addition, and even using multiplication. In the middle of math we went to Ms. Raab's room and read Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad for "Read for the Record". We finished area when we got back to our classroom and then we played the "I have...who has..." measurement game. This afternoon we reviewed our spelling sorts and glued them into our notebooks. One reading group did a play about bullying. We used TTQA (turn the question around) to write complete sentences about what we would do in different bullying situations. Then it was time to head home.
