A Full Week!

We have really enjoyed having a full week with no delays, cancellations, or other "odd" days!  The students have been a pleasure to work with!  Take a look at what we have been up to:

The first grade reading students worked so hard and diligently on their very first Unit Benchmark Test.  I was so pleased with their achievement on this test.  It is a testament to the effort they put forth each day and the dedication that their parents and families have shown in helping them be prepared each and every day.  Here, they are working in their "offices" on this test.

Third grade has been working on money.  As an introduction, we made money booklets.  The students "aced" them and we were able to move right on to counting money!  We could certainly tell that their second grade teachers had them well prepared for this task!

First graders learned how to read with a partner.  We learned that we should be pointing to words and that we should take turns, sit shoulder to shoulder, and give our partners strategies (tap it out, look at the picture, write it in your hand) rather than just giving them the word.  I was so proud of them...they are such a responsible group!

Finally, in math we learned that addition sentences can be written vertically as well as horizontally.  This is trickier than it sounds, but we are getting it!  Dominoes were perfect to use for mastering this new skill!

 We are so thankful for another great week with these sweeties!
