This week's spelling words are in the agendas, as usual.
We've been investing quite a bit of time learning about coins and how to count them. If you're willing to spill out your pockets or piggy banks and practise counting money at home, it would be good practise for the students. We always sort the coins into piles of quarters, dimes, pennies, etc., then begin counting with the coins that are worth the most money. We've also begun sorting coins into one dollar groupings - 3 quarters, 2 dimes and 5 pennies - that kind of thing. Some of the students are getting very good at counting money!
We're also revisiting counting by 1's, 2's, 5's, 10's, and 25's up to 100. Some of the students are able to do this forward and backward - great to see - and can go well beyond the 100 target, as well.
The "Robot Writing" is up for display on our hallway bulletin board for anyone looking for reading material.
The Canada goose pair has left the nest with the new babies, and Scout (the baby hummer) looks gigantic compared to the size it was when we first saw it. Scout showed off with an amazing display of wing acrobatics this morning - very impressive!
