Yarn, Paint, Number Talks and MORE!!!

Hello again,

Here are some memories from our adventures together last week.  Enjoy reviewing them with your child.

Morning Meeting and Shares

This week we practiced a new tip to help us sound out words with double vowels.  Here are some teams that do this special job.  Can you think of other double vowel teams to follow this rule?  Which ones break the rule?  Can you give us any tips?


We also did a share to document how many friends have lost their first tooth and how many have not, using a pie chart.  What other survey questions could we ask?
