Daily 5
The SK's were engaged in Literacy Centers today, with books and puzzles.

Math
The students started their new Math unit on Addition.  We first shared our ideas and what we already know about Addition and reviewed a chart that showed us the different ways we can show our understand.  The SK's worked together on the carpet to answer simple single digit equations using manipulative and worked with partners in their Math books.
