This month we have been focusing on many different activities. One activity we have been working on is writing personal stories across three pages, working on making sure we have a complete beginning, middle, and end.

In math we have been working on a story called The bunk beds, in which the students have been asked to think of different ways the little girl in the story could trick her aunt buy switching friends from the top to the bottom of the bunk bed. There are 8 friends all together and the goal is to see how many number combinations they can make with 8.

| J shows how he can make 8 |
 |
| B and L work together to make 8 |
Each day we work on figuring out different number combinations and ways to make 8 from sketching, to writing our own number word problems.
Today we played the up and down ladder game to help students add one to the top or take one from the top and go to the bottom to make a different combination but with the same number.
