THANK YOU!!

I have to take a moment to thank all the helpers that come in to my room throughout the day. They go above and beyond to help students learn! And if they have even a spare second they are picking up lamination to cut out, grading papers and always finding small ways to make a HUGE difference!

My classroom cushions were falling apart. I temporarily fixed them with bright yellow duct tape before school started. (I am a dangerous woman with hot-glue and duct tape in hand!) and one of my paras noticed the issue. Without saying one thing to me, she went home that night and sewed brand new covers! Talk about a thoughtful lady! The new cushions look so cute in my reading area! I am so thankful for the kind-hearted adults that are wonderful examples to my kids every day!! :)

My Mathematicians!

We used a hundreds chart to make connections to number lines. Students cut up sections and glued them together in order to make a 0-100 #line. Pictured above you can see kiddos racing to 100 as they roll dice and then say aloud number sentences! (Ideas for this lesson are from the Georgia Department of Education: https://www.georgiastandards.org)

Students worked hard creating a base ten block animal. We then counted the blocks and practiced writing the numbers in numeral, expanded and word form. (This is also a great lesson for listening to directions and learning the importance of grouping numbers.)
