This week we continued to enjoy our time at Cochran's and just as predicted, everyone is making great progress with their skills! My apologies if you don't see pics of your child.  During the lesson, I am helping out on the bunny hill and I don't get to see those skiing on the big hill!

In Math, we are taking some extra time to practice our number formation.  We are also playing with story problems and how those can be represented.  We also began manipulating tiles in different ways with some challenge problems.  For example, can you use 6 tiles, one color, and have each tile touching another tile's side? How many different ways can you arrange them? Arranging these sets in different ways are reinforcing the idea that a quantity is a quantity no matter how arranged, while decomposing numbers into parts.

This week in Literacy, we continue our letter sound practice and are decoding words.  Students were introduced to the /wh/ digraph found in words like what, where, and why.  Digraphs are two letters that make one sound.  We have worked with /sh/, /th/, and /ch/ sounds.
