More addition strategies!!!!

I was amazed at how well the students were adding today using lots of different strategies! 

Addition Strategies

Over the weekend practice adding using the many strategies we have been learning! The 100's chart, number line, drawing pictures, and counting on!

Have a nice weekend and don't eat too much candy! Thank you to everyone who brought in my favourite chocolate bars today! You are so thoughtful and always thinking of me! :)

5 Little Pumpkins

We have had a lot of fun singing the song "5 Little Pumpkins". We have actions for the song, and we also made little paper puppets to help tell the story! You will find the song in the BEAR book this week, but for now, here is a video to watch and sing- along!

Thanks so much,

Witch Finger Reading

I just love making learning fun! When we read "independently" I sometimes have my students wear witch fingers so that they remember to point to the words they are reading! The kids just love it! Thank you to Cynthia and her Mom, who brought in a glow in the dark witch finger for everyone so that they get to keep their own! That was very thoughtful! Thanks so much!! After we read, we turned out the lights and watched them glow in the dark! Way too cool!!!!
