Selam and Tylisha working together in Math Workshop.

This week we are finishing up our unit on place value by studying expanded form.  Over the past few weeks, I have really seen the kids grow in their number awareness.  I am so proud of the way that all of the kids can break apart numbers into the thousands (YES!  thousands!), hundreds, tens, and ones.  Today, I want to share a story about Selam and Tylisha.  These two have been partners a few times, but not each day.  These two started working together and I came over to see their thinking.  I was not only blown away by their ability to discuss and share the ideas, but also when they did disagree once they were able to talk it out and come to a conclusion.  Many of our kids do this on a daily basis so I wanted to share a snapshot of what Mr. Ward and I see each day!
