Reading with Expression!

Another component of fluency is expression.

We practiced reading with different expressions in our voice by choosing character cards.

Leading the Morning Message

Each day two helpers lead the message. They ask the students to find digraphs, blends, suffixes, closed, open, and r-controlled syllables. They ask the math question of the day and ask for several ways to solve it. Great job helpers! 

Who Built the Tallest Tower?

We opened our final envelope from the 100th day of school! It was a design challenge to build a structure using 100 toothpicks and 100 marshmallows. The tallest structure was 8 inches! 

Reading to Punctuation

We have been focusing on fluency while reading. Today we practiced reading dialogue in a character's voice. Piggie and Gerald, the Pigeon, and Frog and Toad books are excellent for practicing our character voices!

100 Day Fun!

All day we chose from the mystery envelopes for 100's day activities!

The first envelope revealed a domino game!

The kids had to make a domino train that had exactly 100 dots. They had to show their equations to prove their math was correct! 

The second envelope was a Rolling  to 100. Using dice they were to estimate how many rolls would reach 100. Again, they added and showed their evidence!

The third envelope was a poem with fill in the blanks! 

The fourth envelope was a money game! Rolling the dice, collecting coins, exchanging, and the first to reach 100 or a dollar! 

Our fifth envelope was to graph 100 skittles!

I must have missed a picture of the skittle activity!

The next envelope was 100 exercises! 

We ran out of time for the final mystery envelope...stay tuned tomorrow!!!
