 We have been working on writing sentences and adding juice words to our sentences. Juicy words describe things in our sentences so we have a better picture in our minds when we write. We use our drawings to help us, and we are using the Lively Letters to help us sound out words.

We circle the capital letters in green (green to start a sentence), and we circle the periods red (red to stop the sentence.)

 In math, our classes have been using a Beaded Number Line to count and make numbers. The beads are arranged in groups of ten, and there are 100 beads on this number line. When we use this number line, we can tell which number is closer to another number, and how many tens and ones are needed to make a number (Place Value). We also use the number line to count by 2s, 5s, and 10s - forwards and backwards.
