3, 2, 1 things you should know about our week...
3 math skills we've worked on were adding numbers easily by finding combinations that added up to familiar numbers (such as 10, 20, etc), solving word problems and identifying if we needed to add or subtract, and quick fact practice of adding three or more numbers.

2 writing activities we completed this week were writing about our favorite special and favorite place.  We have started our opinion unit and will begin writing book and character reviews next week. 

1 special day this week was Wednesday...it was Read Across America week.  We were lucky to have some very special visitors.  On Tuesday, my mom came in and read to our class.  On Friday, my daughter Lily (who had a half day) Face Timed in to read us a story and at the end of the day, my sister-in-law and I shared stories with our class and her Kindergarten class in Upstate NY.  The students loved it all!  

Here's a picture of Lily with her book:












Here's one of my sister-in-law's class reading to us:
