Human Body

Morning Meeting.....
We have been in school for 90 days! Pretty soon it will be our 100th day and around here, its a BIG deal! We have learning how to count by 1's to 100, by 10's and we have recently been trying by 2's. If you have a chance to count with your child, definitely do so. In the car. The bathtub. Before bed. At the dinner table. Any chance you get. They are all very proud of their counting.

10, 20, 30, 40, 50,....100!!!

Language Arts....
