Apologies from Mrs. Harmon! This blog was to be posted awhile ago and due to technology difficulties, I just uncovered that it did not post. and a big thank you to some of our students for letting me know it did not post. Please look for the latest news from Harmon's Huddle on Friday, September 29th. Thanks for your patience and your support as we work through our technology issues!

We are working on interesting words. We call them juicy words. In our CAFE menu we learned to use prior knowledge, going back and rereading to make sure the story makes sense and using the words in the story to confirm our predictions.

In writing we have something called writing buddies. The writing buddies are our partners who we share our writing with and we work with them to help us be better writers.

Every day we do something called the number of the day. It is mostly double digit numbers. We have to think of ways to make that number with addition, subtraction and multiplication and we write it in our math journal. We learned a new game called Two Dice. You play it with one dice and a number chart in your journal. First you make the number chart. Then you roll the dice and add the numbers together. If you ge the number on the number chart you can cross it off.
