Literacy

This week we have been working on practicing two strategies to improve our reading Accuracy and Comprehension:

Flipping the Vowel Sound:
We have been reviewing our Vowel Sounds and practicing flipping the sound when the word does not make sense or sound right.



For Comprehension we have been practicing Back up and ReRead when it does not sound right, does not make sense, or when we can't remember the WHO or the WHAT.
Math

Last week we read the book The Napping House by Audrey Wood.
We were challenged to come up with our own Napping House for our families which included drawings, a number equation and an answer in the end. 
Today we practiced figuring out possible combinations for different numbers. We used whiteboards to practice our math thinking through pictures, numbers, words and equations.
