This morning, Teddy and I reviewed addition strategies. We began with the make a 10 strategy with Teddy verbally saying all of the "friends". Then, he added single digits to 10 to make teen numbers. Finally, we worked on the doubles facts. The doubles facts to 10 were written on the whiteboard and we listened to a doubles fact song before Teddy wrote in the addend doubles for given sums.

Review the wh digraph and decode words with it. Continue to practice words with ch, sh, th, and ck by writing them to practice letter formation. Review the sight words for the week as well as those with the digraphs. Read decodable book. Write up to 3 sentences about a picture.

Today, Teddy worked on fractions and equal parts. He began by choosing pictures that were split equally to show equal parts. Then, we discussed the terms half and halves before Teddy looked for objects with two equal parts. We expanded upon halves to include fourths, with Teddy choosing objects divided into 4 equal pieces. Finally, Teddy practiced the coin names and their values.

Teddy and I continued our lesson about the golden rule. We read books about being kind, not being messy and not being forgetful. We discussed the lessons.

Teddy began with fast fact checks on adding 1 through 9 and subtracting 1, 2, and 3. Then, he worked on finding 10 more using his hundreds chart. Our lesson focused on applying the part-part whole model to the friends of 10. Teddy filled in the model with each friend of 10 and wrote the 4 corresponding fact family number sentences.

I made up a new game for Libby and Teddy with a ball and the volleyball net.
We are going to call it "Ultimate Ball".
The object of the game is to throw it over the net without your opponent catching the ball.
If they do this successfully, they score a point.

Teddy and I read about how citizens should treat each other. We discussed the pictures of the soccer players shaking hands before a game, a girl pushing her grandmother in a wheelchair, and a girl giving someone flowers. We talked about the golden rule, made a list of ways to follow the golden rule, and he drew a picture of him following the golden rule.
