Counting By Fives & Backchanneling

An exciting way we share our learning sometimes is by backchanneling.  I use a website called GoSoapBox.

It's a great way to practice reading and writing for a purpose.  Through the GoSoapBox website I can post a question and each student can digitally respond with an answer.  As each student posts their answer, they can read each other's responses.

We finally got to take a look at our sea star quilt and discussed how it could help us count by fives.  We used GoSoapBox to share our answers of patterns that we saw in our sea star quilt.

One of our favorite songs is Count By 5s by Jack Hartmann.

We added the song to our Poetry Notebooks after we ordered all the numbers, counting by fives.
