In Math we finished the unit on numbers to twenty. Students had fun using connecting cubes to help them understand how to make groups of tens and ones while working on place value. Their homework this week was a review of place value and comparing numbers.
In ELA students completed their descriptive writing about their favorite animal, played charades to reinforce verbs in grammar and reviewed short vowel sounds in phonics. Reading this week again focused on getting to know the characters in the books we read and looking at how they change from the beginning to the end of a book. We also talked about making predictions about what characters might do next.
We heard from 8 children in Show and Tell. It was very exciting to hear about everyone's winter holidays.
