New Partnerships

Universal Screening is complete.
We've made more like partnerships based on this data.

You might have heard we started having a "pop quiz" while reading with a partner.
We want kids to be stopping independently, asking themselves the questions...
1.  Who are the characters in this part?
2.  Where is this happening?
3.  What's going on here?

Math curriculum is picking up quickly in Unit 2.
Counting forward and backward.  (up and back by 1's, up by 5's)
Telling time to the hour.
Coins (nickels and pennies)
Reading tally charts
We've begun Math Boxes in our journals.  They are a great daily skill practice.

Our author study has taken us to Robert Munsch.
We laughed out loud at Smelly Socks today.
Really, so smelly, the skunks fall over and geese fall out of the sky.
