Monday

This morning, we used Cuisenaire Rods to learn our doubles plus one facts.  This was really a visual way to represent what a doubles plus one fact actually is.  For example, if we know 5 + 5 = 10, then we know 5 +6 = 11 because 6 is one more than 5 and 11 is one more than 10.  We will keep working on this concept as we tackle 3 digit addition.

We made black and yellow chains for our 3B's parade on Wednesday. Please remind your child to wear black and yellow for this.  Thank you!

In writing, we wrote about our weekends using the 5 Finger Planner. Some children even finished both the planning and the writing.  During word work, we talked about short vowel sounds in the words: got, stop, ran, want, hid.  These are the word wall words for the week.

This afternoon, we started reading groups.  If children did not work with an adult today, they were book shopping, making their paper chains, and/or reading to themselves.

Homework went home today. Let me know if you have any questions!
