FE days 2 &3

   My second day was a little bit more one-on-one. For math we worked on coin values which turned into a game using dice and the coins.
   My third day was really fun. I had a great start to the day when a student came up to me and wanted to show me his book of Star Wars lego ships. Oh and by the way, there is a lego version of the Millenium Falcon which makes it official that we have "thought of everything"! We started a transition of topics in math today. The students have mastered the coins and are moving right along to measuring using these blocks that stick together (similar to legos but bigger) showing them units of measure. Getting to the ruler is our goal. After math I got to finish my day reading "Stone Soup" to the class. It's great to see the students get pulled into a story so far that they start to get antzy. Be sure to show any and all pictures. The story is centered around cooperation which happens to be a classroom rule. This allowed me to remind the class what the class rules were.
