Tomorrow will be our last day for Howard School to collect for Gleaners Food Drive.  As of today, our class has collected 80 cans.  The students are excited to see the total increase every morning.  Thank you for your generosity.

Today we worked with problem and solution.  Tonight when you are reading with your child have them identify the problem and solution of the stories.  Both problem and solution should each be stated in one sentence, not several sentences.  (We don’t a summary of the story…that’s next month!)

BUDDIES-Our third grade Buddies visited us today and helped us glue the links on our bell.  Lots of math went into the bell! Individual bell links, total class links, how many red strips, how many green strips, and we whisper counted from 11-20 while we held each glued strip.  That way we could practice counting through those “tricky teens.”  The first link comes off tonight.  Excitement is beginning to mount in here and the bell/links added to the day.  🙂
