Math and English go together like peanut butter and jam...some jam better than others. I prefer apricot jam with peanut butter...anyway, I found a really helpful page with wonderful ideas to get started with
Connecting math and English
I have used Ten Black Dots and Each Orange has Eight Slices both by Donald Crews with Grade Ones before and they loved it. They also enjoyed The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins.
Working on Division with my Grade 3's ...so will post some ideas soon.

Writer's Workshop
Lucy Calkins talks about how writers need to honour their own writing.
It's important to create a community in your classroom that honours writing, so that writing can flourish in your classroom.
Her other piece of advice is to listen to your own writing.
The first clip is very inspirational and I can't wait for my kids to see it.
