This week we have begun our 2nd unit of the Everyday Math program, and we have been working hard on finding pairs of numbers that add to ten. If we can memorize these "ten friends," they can help us to solve other math facts efficiently.
We did lots of reading and writing about pets, and we worked on a tricky l-blend spelling pattern. For Wild Wednesday this week, the students had a special challenge: paint without paint! They used flowers and leaves to paint nature pictures! So cool! We started learning about pumpkins, their parts, and their life cycle too.
Yesterday students went home with their McGraw Hill codes. They can access our Wonders and Everyday Math programs from home! Today students have Scholastic Book Club catalogues in their folders. If you would like to order books, please do so online. You can get set up on the Scholastic page here on my website.
I have been very proud of the Friendly Fox's behavior this week! We enjoyed a Stuffy Day as a reward, and we had some extra recess today too!
Happy Weekend,
Jess Willard
