An Awesome Week!
In math we introduced some new concepts.

We related skip counting by 2's, 5's and 10's on the Smart Board
We also passed a ball around skip counting in turns
Then we rolled the ball to each other
We also marked skip counts on our 100's board
This is a doubles review game using dice
We also showed number sentences with stickers
COMMUNITY HELPERS!
Firefighters from the Westport Firehouse came with their truck and equipment
We got to see a firefighter dress in full gear
Lots of cool tools to help keep us safe! These are the Jaws of Life.
We walked through the truck
Very cool!
Thanks Firefighters!
We also continued talking about how we got our names...
...and sharing family collages.
