I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather! I know I am!
In Fundations, we continued to practice sentence dictation and proofreading by tapping out each word and checking from capitalization and punctuation. The checkmarks signify that the word was spelled correctly. We also learned two new Trick Words: by and my. Take a look!
In Math, we reviewed how tally marks work, emphasizing that after you draw 4 up and down you always do the fifth tally as a diagonal across the first 4. Then, I displayed a group of pictures on the board and asked the children to count and tally. They wrote their answer on their "hands" (aka hand-shaped dry erase boards) and then they held them up so I was able to quickly scan the room. Take a look below :)

Next, we had a car race with our remote control car! We used a stop watch to measure how long it took for each child to finish the race. Take a look at our table below!
