Three Little Pigs Reader's Theaters

Check out the different versions of The Three Little Pigs we recorded using an app called Puppet Pals. The kids did a great job adding expression to their reading!

Math Fact Fluency

Extra math is now part of our nightly math homework.  Please make sure your child is practicing his/her facts Monday-Thursday for at least five minutes a night.  There are also several wonderful math websites I've listed on my blog where the kids can play games to reinforce their addition and subtraction facts.  The Term 2 expectation is for children to know at least 25 addition and subtraction facts to 20 in a minute and a half.  Mastery of math facts is very important especially as children are introduced to 2 and 3 digit addition and subtraction problems.  When you view your child's data binder, check to see how many facts he/she is getting correct. Special thanks to Mrs. Fleming, she's been working with the kids on fact fluency every Tuesday!

Hanging with Salty and Stripes!

Many of the kids spend a lot of time hanging out with our hermit crabs during indoor recess.  Check out the their cool creations!

Salty and Stripes visit the hospital for a broken claw!

They even have a playground!

And a cool obstacle course!

They sure are getting their exercise!
