We are so close to filling our bucket for the third time, I bet they will do it tomorrow!

Today we played digraph bingo with the cards we made with sh , th, ch, ck and wh words.  The kids loved it and they were so good at it!  If you are looking for a new way to practice words make it into a bingo game!

In math we are practicing to jump on the number grid.  For example if we are working on 5+2 we want to be able to use the number grid to count on and back.  The biggest mistake we often see in first graders is counting before they jump.  We practiced this today by physically jumping and then counting....jump "1", jump "2" etc.  Playing board games also reinforces this.
Soon we will learn to use the plus 10 shortcut on our number grids by sliding out fingers down a row.
We have lots of games to practice this skill.
