In math, we have been working on number partners (6 is 1+5 or 2+4 or 3+3, etc.), teen numbers, graphing to compare quantities, and writing numbers.
Some time ago, we started to share noticias (news) with one another to get to know each other better. The kids have several opportunities a week to share special things that are happening in their lives. I love hearing their stories and am so excited to hear some of them using Spanish when they are sharing! Their language production really starts to soar at this point of the year!
