Another Gami and Counting Strategies

Here is Anyuan's Gami about his weekend!

Today, the groups were given counters to sort and count.  They were given no direction in how to do this but it was interesting to see how they decided to group the counters.  Some groups sorted into groups of 5, others groups of 10 and some tried to group them in 2s.  We made an anchor chart together about the strategies we used to figure out how many counters we had in our pile.  Tomorrow, we will continue figuring out the easiest way to count objects...efficiently!

'Blah' to 'Wow'

Tellagami

Today, we worked on turning 'blah' sentences into 'wow' sentences.  We learned about adverbs and how they help or add to a verb. After, we had made our super sentence, we created gamis using the Tellagami app.  Unfortunately, the school ipads did not allow me to email them to myself to share with everyone.  I am hoping to figure out how to fix this problem.  The gamis that I heard were...AMAZING!! A special shout out to all the friends in the class who went the extra mile (or km) to clean up the classroom.  You really are a wonderful group of children and my bucket was filled to the top!  Cameron came to school today with a song about vowels that his mom had taught him.  What an awesome singer and a great song to help us remember our vowels!
