Dear Parents,1-13-17

We had a busy three days after being out for the snow. Students continue to work in their inquiry groups finding facts and asking questions about dinosaurs. Check out the board outside our classroom for some dynamite dinosaur posters. Notecards with facts will be added next week.

In math, we are working on writing equations for a given number using standard notation. Students are using numbers, pictures, words, and equations to solve word problems with multiple addends. Continue practice counting to 120 forward and backward, beginning at any number.
