Here is a look into our new week

Language Arts:

Story: Unit 3-Week 3 "George Washington Visits"

Weekly comprehension exam: Cause and Effect

Math:

Continue with Chapter 8: Numbers to 100
We are focusing on teaching the students how to make groups of ten and then count on
Students are having a hard time showing numbers using rods of 10 (groups of ten) and cubes of 1 (ones)

Here is a song that shows the students the teen numbers (using tens and ones) this is a great way to "see" what we are trying to show them so they can then count higher with more tens and ones
