I can write numbers to 100.
I can identify numbers and their values in the ones and tens place.
I can draw a picture and write an equation for an addition word problem.
I can compare numbers using less, more, fewer, equal to, same.

Hamburger writing

This month we are focusing on narrative writing. Students have been learning about good writing and the components of narrative writing. We used a hamburger to help us understand the elements needed in their story and the sequencing of a story. It was fun to see the students start to understand as they told stories to each other. We are starting our hamburger writing so if you hear them this is what it means.
