Readers' Theater and Mountain Math

Readers' Theater
To work on fluency in reading, we read a readers' theater script of How the Guinea Fowl Got Her Spots.  The students were divided into two groups and each student had a role.  With practice, we did a great job of reading fluently and with expression.  It was a lot of fun too.


Mountain Math
Students were introduced to Mountain Math as part of our math workshop this week. This program is based on common core standards. Students work independently through the math questions that reinforce problem-solving strategies.  In addition, the program introduces new concepts and requires higher-order and higher-level thinking. The kids seem to enjoy the challenge.
