 Week in Review:

- This week we read the book Stellaluna.  Throughout the book we stopped and discussed several differences from the birds in the story and Stellaluna, the bat.

-We have started assessing for report cards.  I am pleased with the progress we have made.

-In math we learned about how to count on from the biggest number in an equation.  Students are doing a great job of counting on!!!
