Friday! Sept. 17th

Happy Friday! We made it!!  Today we used number grids in math and worked to find patterns within number grids.  We practiced counting by 3's, 5's, 10's, and 2's.  We noticed that if you add 10 to a number, the ones digit doesn't change (example: 44 + 10= 54).  
In reading we worked on phonics and read non fiction books.  We learned about the body parts of insects and what life might be like in an ant colony.  Did you know that most ants that live in ant nests are female? The boys in class didn't like the idea of living with all girls- haha. I guess they are glad they aren't ants :)

We did have 1 hour at the end of the day to spend with our NEW teachers.  Everyone was excited for this and we made it a very positive and exciting change.  No tears!  Starting Monday morning all students will line up with their NEW class on the blacktop.  There will be a new sign for Mrs. Raneri's class right next to my line.

Hope you all have a great weekend :)
