Libby and Teddy worked together on different fitness activities.
We started with a 3-lap run on the perimeter of the field.
We came back to the pavilion and did a series of different exercises, including:
planks, burpees, bar hang, sit ups and push ups.
We will continue with these exercises for the next couple of weeks.

Libby drew pictures of people and places using a red marker. She was very creative and spun quite a web with her illustrations.

Today's lesson focused on how to use tools to subtract numbers. We discussed how the number line, counters, connecting cubes, and quick pictures have been used over the last few weeks to help solve subtraction problems. Then, Libby listened to stories, determined which tool she wanted to use, and wrote equations to find differences. Finally, Libby spent time online sorting coins and bills into the correct piggy banks.

Practice the sight words for the numbers one and two and read book using those number words. Practice -ap and -ag word families. Use clay to form the words. Read Frog and Toad.

This morning, Libby used a ten-frame tray and red and blue counters to show the different ways to make ten while using a 'Friend of 10' rainbow for reference. Then, she solved subtraction within 10 problems using a part-part-whole model to help understand and recognize the concept of fact families. Finally, Libby counted to 20 with and without the number line.
