The children found out about the Legend of the Groundhog, which suggests that we're not done with winter just yet. Because Punxatawny Phil saw his shadow on Feb. 2, we're forecast to receive six more weeks of the winter weather. Like that comes as any surprise?!
We also found a new tool to use in our study of math. Versatiles are a special puzzle game which allows for multiple types of practice with problem solving using clocks, equations, shapes, numbers and more. If students put the pieces in just the right places when solving the problems, then they can flip the puzzle and check their work. Great tool, provided by our PTO last summer when we were able to order more manipulatives and tools for our Common Core Guided Math Workshop.
