Here is a look into our new week

Language Arts:

Story: Unit 3-Week 4 "Farfanilla and Marcel"

Weekly comprehension exam: Plot 

Math:

Finish up Chapter 8: Numbers to 100
We are focusing on teaching the students how to make and count groups of ten and ones.
Ex.: 

10, 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39

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
