One More!

During Math today we continued to focus on one more.  I read the book Monster Needs One More! and students helped to identify the number that was one more.  Students then worked with a partner to build a "math staircase," making cube towers in order from 1-10.  We then joined back together and students had to find the tower that was one more than a number I called out. 

This afternoon we visited Mrs. Tourin's class and she read Eat Like a Beaar which connects to our work in the woods.   Students got to act out different ways a bear might move and eat.  We then talked about how it was very unlikely to see a bear in Burlington and brainstormed some animals that we might see in the woods.
