As most of you have probably heard or noticed, we are in the midst of a paper mache project. Each child chose an animal to focus on and first completed a written fact sheet for the animal. Students used these in the computer lab to create a "report" about their animals. Many have finished this component and Mrs. Marcelle is working on a way for the final products to be shared. Hopefully we will be able to create a link so they can be accessed from this blog.

In math we have been working on recording data using tallies. Children have been sorting sets of objects and using tallies to record data on a table. We have also been looking at compliments to 5 and 10, as well as counting on from any number, for example starting at 63 and counting on. This can be tricky, particularly changing decades, for example 69 to 70. If you find yourself with a couple of minutes of down time, this is a great skill to practice!
