Number Line Hop

We started working with adding and subtracting on a number line today.  Each child got to start at zero, then see how many hops it took them to get from one number to another until they reached fifteen.  Then we started at a number and hopped backward.  This activity is getting the kids ready for addition and subtraction.

Your child has selected ten writing samples to bring home to share with you.  Everyone is learning how letters make the sounds that make up our words.  They are also learning that their pictures can help tell the story they are writing.  I encourage you to look at their journals and see how much they have already learned to write!

Please read your notice coming home today.  We are going to paint on white tee-shirts next week.  I need everyone to bring in a white tee shirt with their name on the back.  As for a Christmas party we will spend next Friday morning reading Christmas stories and snacking on cookies and clementines.
