Writing Mania!

We've been in school now for about 40 days and our brains are growing and exercising!  We've gotten into the "main content" of our reading program and we're WELL INTO our math with counting and comparing numbers/quanitities.

With all the above areas, writing is VITAL!  We're not only learning how to print each individual symbol of the alphabet, but we're learning how to listen to the sounds to put them together to spell words.  Yes!  We're learning how to spell...it may be invented spelling, but it is a key element to learning how to be a fluent writer!

Likewise, with math we're exploring writing numbers/matching sets/tally marks/graph/survey... Phew...we're a busy classroom!

Give us 40 more days and check back to see what we're up to!  You'll be amazed!
