Magic Tree House

I love Magic Tree House books!   The vocabulary is great and the historical fiction is fun for the kids.  I love when I stop reading and they say "please read more!!!"

We are now on book 3.  After wading 2 chapters today, we illustrated and labeled the character and setting.  

1:1 Correspondence

I call it "touch and say". We use it when we count AND when we read. 

Today we practiced tracking our print -top to bottom/left to right

Numbers 0, 1, 2, & 3

Today we began talking about how to represent numbers.  We will do this for numbers 0-20. We discuss how the number looks in a set, ten frame(or twenty frame), dot cube, place value, number line and the number word.

We started with the number 0 and 1. We filled out our anchor chart and then after work time, 2 students were able to share how they would represent their number.

Next we discussed the number 2.
