This morning we talked about how the equal sign means that you need to have the same amount on either side, and how you can have multiple equal signs in the same equation. I challenged the students to each create a number sentence with two or more equal signs in it to share with the class, and they rocked it! via Instagram https://ift.tt/2MSUIEU

My latest read: ‘What Does This Button Do?’ by Bruce Dickinson. Bruce is the lead singer of Iron Maiden, one of my favourite bands, but he’s done so much more than that: he’s a world-class fencer, airline captain, novelist, screenwriter, cancer survivor, and so much more. I was aware of most of these things, but it wasn’t until reading his book that I learned just how many different interests and pursuits Bruce has had outside of being the lead singer of one of biggest rock bands of all-time. A very entertaining read! #mrhoeppnerreads via Instagram https://ift.tt/2IMk1ay

Today we read ‘Dreamers’ by Yuyi Morales. It’s a story about the author moving from Mexico to the United States with her infant son. She didn’t know any English, but everything changed when she discovered the amazing world of the public library. We had a lot of great conversation around this book and what it must be like for families moving here to Canada not speaking any English, including some in our very own class. We also talked about how using the pictures to read a book can help us make sense of the story, even if we can’t read the words. Finally, we talked about how amazing the pictures in this book are! #GRA19 via Instagram https://ift.tt/2OFTuzA

Here’s some of the student’s work from another 3-act math problem that we played with on Monday and Tuesday - we knew from our observations that were 12 coins in a coin bank and that the total amount was $1.00, and we knew for sure that there was at least one nickel, one dime, and (almost certainly) one quarter in the bank. I’m sorry that I forgot to take a picture of the rest of their observations and thinking that I wrote down on the board, because they had such good ideas - I absolutely love the mathematical conversations that I get to hear while they are trying to figure these problems out. So much fun! via Instagram https://ift.tt/2AURN9d
