Odd/Even Numbers
Today we used connecting cubes in our groups to find a doubles or near double fact of a large number, for example 71 would be 36+35. We also talked about whether the number was odd or even.
Today's Meet with our Epals!!!
Today we did a "Today's Meet" with our epals in Westhampton Beach, New York!! To say that my students had fun is a huge understatement!!! This was an excellent way to practice communication and writing skills but it was also exciting and so much fun! We look forward to doing more projects in the future with our new pals!!!

Between the Lions: Brian McKnight & Cleo sing "Homophones"
We learned about homophones today. This was a video I showed that the students liked. We also watched a Brainpop video and took the quiz, did an online game in the working with words station, and played homophone tic tac toe in the teacher station.
Donation from a RedditGifts Donor
We were very thankful to receive some school supplies from a donor (Chrissy in NY) at RedditGifts! I found this resource over the summer in which you can sign your class up for a donation!!!

Oreo Stacking Challenge
Today we did our Oreo cookie stacking challenge! Our class average was 16 cookies stacked! As of today, 10,680 students throughout the world have participated and the average number of cookies stacked is 18! 18 is also the average number for 2nd graders who did stacking. We had fun doing this project. We compared our prediction to our actual results and did a couple math problems too. We have a couple other activities to do to finish the project but didn't have time today.
