Today we discussed the importance of having an open mind set and how it helps us to preserve when faced with a difficult task (i.e., math). We looked at the story of Gerald the Giraffe and how he showed determination to become a dancer. The students generated a list of self speak or positive thoughts that Gerald might say to himself during his journey in becoming a dancer.

Children's Book Audio Reading "Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees.

We also built numbers and represented them in expanded form. Each digit in a number has a value.

It was Photo Day today.

During literacy we continued our exploration of reading strategies. Students were given questions that good readers ask themselves to check for understanding. We also talked about picking a Just Right Book. We are getting ready to share our books on Iris.
