Rubric, Short i, and Cover Up

During Writer's Workshop, the girls have been working on publishing their personal stories.  Today we created a rubric to help the girls determine if their stories were "ready for publishing."

In our language arts period, the girls reviewed the short i sound.  As a group, we matched words with corresponding pictures.

The girls then drew a pig (very similar to our beloved Wilbur) and wrote 5 short i words inside of their pigs.

In math the girls played "Cover Up," a fun game where they race each other to find the sum of two dice.  They also used manipulatives and Doodle Buddy to show addition sentences on their iPads.
