The Latest from our classroom...

Math

We have been learning about friends of 10, which are numbers that go together to make ten. Our friends of ten include turnaround facts. Here they are:

1+9=10

9+1=10

2+8=10

8+2=10

3+7=10

7+3=10

4+6=10

6+4=10

5+5=10

10+0=10

0+10=10

We have been learning how to tell time on the hour. We say it "o'clock". We know that when the minute hand is on the 12 it is an "o'clock"time. We love learning about time!

Time BINGO!

Elsa working hard on her math journal. 

Everyone is working hard on ST Math!

Literacy

We have been picking our own centers during literacy time! We call it the Daily 5 and we get to decide which centers we want to go to. We have to do read to self every day. Our choices include: fundations practice, listen to reading (with a comprehension check), word work (where we practice our trick words), read to someone, work on writing, and read to self.

We have been working on Weekend News where we write about what we did over the weekend. Some of us need help remembering what we did over the weekend. This could be something you talk about with your child on Sunday evening or Monday morning to help them remember.

More updates to come later in the week :)
