Fluency Packets are in your child's Guided Reading Baggy today. A snowy, cold evening? What a great time to snuggle on the couch and practice reading with great fluency: phrasing, expression, and increasing reading rate as your child reads through a selection multiple times! Please return the purple and yellow fluency packets in their baggy on Monday. :0)

**Kim went fishing and caught two fish: a perch that was 5 inches long and an alewife that was (2,5, or 11) inches longer than the perch. How long was the alewife? How do you know??

Madysen solved this by using color tiles. She put five out for the perch. She then made an alewife the same size but added 11 to it. This showed her the alewife was 16 inches. 5 plus 11 more equals 16.
ReplyDeleteWe used 11 inches. AJ determined that the alefish was 16 inches long. She used her fingers and added 5 to 11.
ReplyDeleteEthan used looked at his fingers and knew that 5+2=7. He just knew that 5+5=10 and he used his fingers again to add 11+5=16.
ReplyDeleteBrady knew that 5+2=7 and 5+5=10 and 5+11=16. He added in his head.
ReplyDeleteCanyon started with the number 11. He said he used a known fact that 1 +5 =6. so 11+5 must = 16.
ReplyDeleteWay to go: Canyon, Brady, Ethan, AJ and Madysen! We'll get the Treasure Chest out tomorrow!
