Our "Super Powers"---Reading Strategies to help decode unknow words...

Pointer Power

Partner Power

Reread Power

We have been practicing these strategies on our own, with a partner and in our small group work.

Math

This week we spent time identifying hidden numbers on a number line.  The class is becoming very familiar with a number line from 0-20.  They are able to tell what comes before or after a specific number.  

We also are learning about Number Trees.  The number trees help us to see different combinations of a number.  

Reminders

*  Send a snack daily.  Be sure it is separate from their lunches and easy to find.

*  Return library books every Monday.
