It's a Doubles "Rap"

We're back in the groove after a long weekend! This week, students tackled doubles facts in math, and doubles + 1. They learned a rap to help them cement in their math facts--ask them to rap for you this weekend if you have time! Hopefully, after we really get the moves down, I can get up a video for your viewing enjoyment. Most of the kids really got into it, and it helps with the memorizing. 

In reading, we are plowing ahead with read-to-self time. We have almost reached 10 minutes of totally quiet read-to-self time. The students who have shown me they can keep a self-controlled body and be engaged while reading the entire time will get to choose their spot for read-to-self next week. They are all looking forward to it!

In other news, CLIMB Theater came in and talked about keeping our self-control. They taught the kids a cheer called the "expert cheer", and a special saying to remember our self-control. All the students are now experts in self-control, which they displayed later on Thursday, when the author of the Ivy&Bean series, Annie Barrows, came to visit. We had a lot of fun! 

Here are some highlights of the week; until next time!
