Combinations of 10

We love practicing our combinations of 10 by playing Ten Go Fish.

Can you list all the combinations of ten by adding two addends?

Noodle's Backpack

Today, Noodle, a dog from the Jacksonville Humane Society came to visit us with his human, Ms. Megan.

They shared with us several things. Some of the things discussed were the needs of pets, how to handle a stray dog approaching us and the proper way to pet someone else's dog.

In class, we have been exploring and discussing the needs of animals during Science Workshop.

Can you explain some of the needs of pets or

share one new thing that you learned from Noodle?

Author's Visit: Carmen Agra Deedy

Today, we were very fortunate to hear the stories of published author, Carmen Agra Deedy. She enchanted us with her personal story of the 'Peanut Man' - the Cuban Peanut Man from Havana, Cuba & the American Peanut Man from Decatur, Georgia. She was right. We all want the same thing in life... to belong.

What was your favorite part of her visit to our school?

Nonfiction Conventions

Types of print help the reader by signaling, "Look at me! I'm important!"

Can you list any other features of a nonfiction text?

Are You a Dream Maker or a Dream Breaker?

Wow! Omegaman visisted us on the first day of school. We talked about making good choices, setting positive goals, and no bullying. Doing all these things help us become Dream Makers.

Thank you Omegaman for taking the time to visit and reminding us of all the things we can continue to do in order to be a hero.

"If I believe, I can achieve."
