Monday, February 29th

Math:

This morning we began a new unit.  We will begin with addition.  We start by learning one more/one less and then will work into larger numbers.  Today they played a game where they order the numbers from 1-10 and then one partner hides their eyes while the other partner takes out one of the numbers and hides it.  The partner covering their eyes now tries to guess what number is missing.  They had a blast with this game!  

Writing:  We continued using our brave spelling, spaces, period, and capital letters but also learned today that good writer's have pictures that match the words.  

Inside Recess:  We played in the computer lab with a partner today!
