Busy Busy Week!

Examples of blends are: bl (black), cr (crab), dr (drink), sw (swim), sc, fl, sn, and many more. We out the blends into a blender and created a poster together for the classroom. All of the stories we read this week will focus on blends. We mark blends by underlining the 2 consonants, like:
- In math we started topic 2: Adding and Subtracting within 10. Today, we practiced using a number line to "hop" forward and back to find the answer. Friday, we will learn doubles (2+2, 3+3, 5+5)
