Read Across America Week


High School Students from The National Honors Society came to our class to read for Read Across America Week

We practiced adding tens and ones with tasty treats!

In reading this week, we focused on reading stories with the theme: How we can classify and categorize things to help us stay organized. Our stories were: A Barn Full of Hats, A Lost Button, Sort It Out and The Party. The phonics focus was "ar" as in star. We learned that r is SO bossy, we don;t even hear the a sound in: star, far, car, etc. The HFWrods were: four, large, only, put, round, none.

In math this week, we finished up adding with tens and ones. We solved story problems with double digit addition by drawing models. We always say: circle it to make a ten! On Friday, we added double digit numbers with pretzels and marshmallows. The treats are coming home today with more math facts inside the bag to practice at home this weekend!

For read across america week, our class heard SO many Dr. Seuss books. They enjoyed the rhyming words and silly stories. We saw a video about Dr. Seuss and answered questions about his writing.
