During our last unit of Place Value, the students worked in groups to create three flap foldables to record various ways to write numbers. The students drew out number cards and recorded the number on the top flap. Under the flap they drew the number as sticks (tens) and dots (ones), identified the number of tens and ones, the expanded notation, and the written form. As they worked, they discussed which number was the greatest or least and justified their answer using the number of tens and ones each number had. They then compared their numbers with other groups.

Blueberries for Sal
In reading we are working on retelling stories including the beginning, middle, and end. We recently read Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey. As a group we summarized and charted what happened in the story. The students then created a three flap foldable to illustrate and write to retell the story.

David Shannon: Comparing Stories
After reading Toy Many Toys and A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon, we discussed how the books were the same and different. We charted the student responses on a Double Bubble Map. The students then completed a Venn Diagram independently to compare the stories.
Using the Venn Diagram for help, the students created a four-tier foldable to identify one way that the two stories were the same and then something that was different yet related.
