iPad day was way fun! We made a list of sight words for fluency.



































Check out the pronouns we learned in grammar.

















We practiced "gl" words too.

















During shared writing, we filled in the missing letters and words.

















I have super smart writers!









We used the iPads for math too. There's an awesome app called Number Pieces that focuses on base 10. We continued constructing numbers 11-20 using rods and units.


























Look at Andrew's proud face!! He said, look I can use 3 tens and it's 30!

We learned about the role of a First Lady.



My sweet MeMe and Paw gave this book to me when I was 7.










Since John Adam is named after our 2nd President, we researched his First Lady. The kids found this so interesting.

We broke words a part to make new ones. They are getting so good at this!





During math, we explored ones and tens. Each student had to construct the first initial in their name using rods and units.



















They had to count how many ones, how many tens, and how many all together.

We concluded our day with this adorable craft!!








These turned out beyond cute!!



We did a fun activity during word work. We found words within the word Washington.



They are super spellers!





During math, we talked about place value and constructed numbers using rods (10) and units (1). My kids blew me away with their strategies. I heard one say 1 ten and 7 ones makes 17, so 10 + 7 = 17!!! Wow!! We focused on numbers 11-20 and will build upon that.








Awesome job Annalise!!



Poor Brookie hurt her leg at the trampoline park. Poor baby! My kids were sooo sweet to her today and by this picture you can see the boys being such gentlemen.
