Adding Tens and Ones

Today the class added together groups of 10's and 1's using linking cubes to represent 10's rods and 1's cubes.  This is a skill we have been working on in class.  Students practiced counting all the 10's first and then the1's.  When solving higher double digit addition problems, students are encouraged to draw 10's and 1's to help them solve the problem more quickly and efficiently.

Welcome Home!

We had a surprise welcome home for Arabella's Dad who has been deployed to Afghanistan since the beginning of the school year.  Her Dad surprised Arabella and her sister by coming home earlier than they expected and came into our classroom to pick her up. It was a wonderful surprise for us all! Welcome home Mr. Rose!!!!

Spring Garden!

The class had a great time planting our spring garden!  It looks beautiful! Thank you to all the parents who were able to volunteer their time and those who donated items for this project.  The students are very excited to take turns caring for the garden and watching it grow and change.
