What did we learn today?

 Today we worked on learning to write the letter Hh the school way.  We practiced pulling down our letters and staying on the lines. I also read a great book to the students called I Love My Hair.  We practiced Think, Pair, Share about things we love about ourselves.  Tomorrow we will be writing in a four square format all about what we love about ourselves.

Introducing EM Games

Your child came home last week with their EM game log on information and password.
Please be sure that homework time includes playing the many math games. If your child is successful in the Early Childhood section please allow them to move on to the other levels.  
Currently in math we are learning about patterning, counting and identifying teen numbers, counting backwards, comparing teen numbers (Number Top-it is great for this), exchanging coins, finding objects that have symmetry.
