However, it is still good practice to have your child read and discuss these books with you at home.

This week students will work on tens and ones,counting by 2s and 5s , ordering numbers out of sequence, and composing and decomposing numbers.
Math Journals - (Tuesdays and Thursdays) Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem. Finally, a few students each week share their problem solving strategies with the class.
WRITING
This week's mini-lessons:
Last week we wrote pattern books based on popular stories such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I am so impressed with the students' work! We will be adding our books to our classroom library. This week we will be working on a project describing our best day at school. This work will be submitted in a charter school essay contest.
