It was a very busy week in Room 114! We had our very first Docent lesson, started a new unit in math and kicked off our ABC countdown to summer! The children continue to work SO hard and should be incredibly proud of the amazing effort they are putting forth! 🙂
This week in math we started our unit on place value! We counted a big group of popsicle sticks but bundling them into groups of 10!
