This Week:
- We:
- reviewed possessive nouns: ie. the teacher’s apple or the teachers’ apples.
- continued learning double digit subtraction in regards to regrouping or not regrouping.
- we played a game, where students tapped each other’s back… ie. touch a classmate who is a good friend… touch a classmate who makes you smile… who makes you laugh… It was so exciting to hear that everyone felt good and their buckets were filled.
Next Week:
- Spelling Words: nail, train, main, hay, stay, break, steak, weigh, sleigh, prey, scrape, strange, good, often, two
