Math Tunes!

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful, rainy day! The kids enjoyed inside recess. They are very excited to make a tree out of hand-prints.  I couldn't believe how many students chose to use recess time to trace their hands!

Today, we talked about grouping objects and counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. The students greatly enjoyed singing songs to review this skill.  The counting by 10's song was a CD; however, I wanted to post the other two songs for your enjoyment at home!

Spelling City is updated with this week's spelling list. This is a great resource in order to review and learn the spelling words weekly!

Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Weekend!

We were very busy elves today! Students completed a "Brown Bag Report" related to Biscuit. Ask your child to tell you the sounds that the following blends make: dr, fr, tr, cl, sl, and fl. We read How the Grinch Stole Christmas and completed some reading comprehension activities related to the story. Your child has some "Grinch Dust" in his or her folder to help keep the Grinch away on Christmas Eve!  I am certain you will enjoy having the dust around your home!

Have a wonderful weekend!
