Mrs. Campagna's Class

We have already gotten so engaged by our new Bridges Math program!  First we learned a few games to help us practice our math facts and number sense (how numbers go together) and just last week began engaging in Number Corner and our Bridges Math Lessons!  The students LOVE  the number corner and have so many good observations and ideas to share. For my students who are commenting below, what is your favorite part of our Bridges Math program so far and why? Is it the workplaces, the number rack, the Number Corner or our workbooks?  I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!  See the photos above of the students in action!

I’d also like to link to a few of our past student’s blogs who are still using their blogs to share their thoughts and ideas! Thank you to them for their continued support of our blogging in our classroom! They would love it if you visited their blogs and commented!

Way to go !!!

The last few weeks during Reading, we have talked a lot about making connections. We have talked about text to text, text to self, and text to world connections. Why do we do this? How does making connections make you a stronger reader?

It is time to start making connections around the world! Your job this week is to comment on this blog using good, strong comments.

Think about the story we read about the Special Olympics and watch the video below. How are you similar to the young people that participate in the Special Olympics? How it must feel to train for these events? Think about the challenges these Olympians have faced. Visit this link to see a video about Susie Doyen. Can you make any connections to her feelings or experience? Write a comment about your thoughts!

Remember to use C.U.P.S., use an address like “Dear Class,” or “Hello Friends,” and end with a closing such as “Love, Mrs. C.” or “Your Friend, Sevey”.
