We visited our Padlet page for the first time and watched Kid President's pep talk for us!

In Reading we practiced choosing "Just Right Books" from the classroom library.

In Writing we wrote compliments to each other, to fill everyone's bucket (see book below). Then we had free-writing time so students could write whatever they wanted.

In Math we continued to practice solving word problems by drawing base-10 blocks to show the numbers being added or subtracted.
