This is my 2nd grade daughter, Rosalie. I gave her 24 chex and asked her if she could make rectangles to show multiplication facts. Below is her answer to “How do you know 9 isn’t a factor of 24?” This was after a 2 hour bike ride. #MorePlayLessWorksheets

Some more pics of the process.
Nice to see all of the valuable and essential frameworks/concepts in one place. Too much focus on one aspect/book/concept could be a potential pitfal. I appreciate how this blog addresses both technical/social-emotional/situational components. As always, thank you @jimknight99

Ss in EspanolTres working on sharing insights from famous artists. Ss chose 2 of the 4 they learned about to highlight. Then Ss will use @Flipgrid to comment on others, finally authors will comment on critics agreeing or disagreeing. Nice comprehensible input! #johnstonlearns

Johnston has some great EL teachers. Here is a S/o to @MrsK3nny. She had her students categorizing summary statements from a reading summarizing a current event! Some interesting discussion ensued.
