We are moving right along! We finished up Unit 6 of Benchmark and begin Unit 7 on Monday! They did great with the Tales/Fiction unit. Some even enjoyed the stories. Books are coming home today. I am still working on grading some of the packets. Those will come home soon. Sorry for the delay.

We are continuing on with Eureka math adding and subtracting through 1000. We use the eureka strategies when doing this. I reminded them that IReady likes to use the compensation and benchmark numbers strategy. We practice that way with the practice problems and whiteboards along with the math lessons and those strategies that we are doing right now- Make a ten. I will attached a reference chart at the end of this post for you to see! We reference it a lot during class to remember.

With our four day week we were still able to squeeze in a science lesson, social studies maps lesson, and do zumba with the rest of the lower el montessori! Next week we also have a four day week then we get back to normal for March!

A very big THANK YOU for getting all of the stuff in for both field trips TODAY!!! I am running the all school field trip so this is SO HELPFUL to have our class stuff done and ready and be able to help all the other teachers and compile it all. Much appreciated to all of you <3

Lets hope its true and we get to 40 degrees next week… we are all tired of this snow and indoor recess… they have been troopers but we are ready to get out and run around!

Have a great weekend! 🙂
