Writing Workshop: Working on crafting our teaching booklets. What am I an expert at? When I write I keep the reader in mind. We are learning that we teach with our pictures as well. How can I add labels, zoom in and write words on my pictures to teach as well?
Math: We will work on doubles, making ten, combining numbers, and part part whole fluency. We will continue with addition strategies and addition fluency.
