Coins, Coins, Coins! Bernadette Tayson, room 102 Nicole  Lindner, room 207 Chris Drewelow, room 105 ___________________________________________________________    We have been studying all types of coins, from penny values to quarters, and everything in between.  In our classrooms we focus attention on comparing 2 sets of coins to determine who has more, then decide how much more.  Along with direct instruction, the students also do a lot of paired work, and games to help reinforce their learning.  Working with money can be a challenging subject for some students and we hope that the students are working on these concepts at home as well as school.        Since we have a well rounded knowledge of the analog clock, we have moved on to transferring analog time to digital time.  During reading we have focused on comprehension skills, as well as decoding strategies (what to do when you come to a word you don't know), and fluency.  We have also begun to ask higher order questions, which helps students dig deeper into the stories we read. ___________________________________________________________ Check out the site below for fun math and reading games.  MATH AND READING GAMES LINK
