Where is Double Dude?

This week we were working with math fact strategies.  When we learned about doubles and using doubles, we each created our very own double dude!  Then we picked ten of them and hid them around the school.  We challenged the other classes to find the ten double dudes and practice reading the double facts that are listed on each one.  We can't wait to see if any classes find them all!

We know how to show respect!  Do you?

Mathematicians

Have you heard of SMP's? They are the Standards for Mathematical Practice.  This year we will be developing a mathematical mindset using these practices.

Here are two very cute mathematicians telling us about some of these practices.  What else would you add about mathematicians?

Welcome back to school!  This week we learned about each other and about the rules and routines of our classroom.  I talked a lot about my family so I am sharing a picture of us.  This picture was taken this past summer at Lake Tahoe.  We had the best time hiking, rock climbing, swimming, and sightseeing.  Our country is so beautiful.  What did you do over the summer? 

I can't wait to learn so much more about each of my wonderful new students!  This is going to be a great year!
