Blackberry - During a literacy workshop, students worked on either word sorts or "lift the flap" books, while a small group of students worked with Fundations.
2nd math - Drawing on the TERC Investigations curriculum, students worked with creating and predicting numbers based on pattern trains, and then solving and creating addition and subtraction sentences with multiple operations per sentence.
3rd math - Drawing on the TERC Investigations curriculum, students worked with the idea of "close to 100", both on worksheets and playing the actual game (six cards are dealt, and each player tries to make two two-digit numbers that total as close to 100 as possible). This was preceded by conversation about the difference between a guess and an estimate, and the relative certainty between them (teachers created a scale that read "no clue/guess/estimate/certainty" in increasing order to illustrate this).
5th math - After a lesson and activities on classifying triangles (scalene, obtuse, acute, right, isosceles, equilateral), students moved into the Show Me 1/2 curriculum to develop their skill with fractions and decimals. Today's "exit ticket" was identifying two attributes of a triangle from among the set given by the teacher.
Strawberry - Extending their marine biology science unit, students used books and websites to engage in research on an aspect of the oceans, choosing from among animals, topography, or mythology. Each child had generated a list of research questions and took notes in his/her science notebook.
