Catch Up Day (February 24, 2016)

We've been so excited this week. Our ELA focus is "Helping Animals." The phonics pattern is final "y" and "ey" they both say "ee." Backpacks have a reading paper tonight. 

Math right now is amazing!!! 2 digit addition, and story problems (only 1 digit). It's great. Mrs. LaMar and I are jumping with excitement on the addition for sure!!

For the addition half of the kids draw "quick draws" to figure out the answer. We are ok with that, because that is semi-concrete. When they are able, they will become more abstract thinkers and not need the drawings. But for now, they are "seeing" the answer which will definitely help with place value and all math next year. 

In writing we've been working on "how to" stories. I was so impressed yesterday that we grabbed the stories and headed to Mrs. Friesen's class. They were kind and let us hang out for five minutes sharing what we've done. So Much Fun!

And today we made posters/signs for Mr. Voth's class. They start state assessments tomorrow so we are encouraging them. We snuck over, dropped the posters off and snuck out again. So Much Fun!

Some kids have asked to do notes for other classes as well. So Kind. 

What good and kind moments will we have tomorrow?
