Literacy & Numeracy Practice
/The last couple weeks the Otters have been working on some new literacy activities and reviewing double digit addition and subtraction in numeracy. We did this by practicing as a whole group, as well as working in small groups, and individually on a number of phonetic activities and new literacy games. We started by reviewing bossy e and r words and continued our practice by playing sight word games. We also have started using personalized book baskets for silent and partner reading in class. The Otters really enjoy having a variety of books to choose from, in addition to getting additional reading practice in small literacy groups each week!
We also practiced our numeracy skills in addition and subtraction and had a lot of fun playing a variety of games that helped us build on the strategies we learned for regrouping earlier in the year. One of the class favorites was a game called Climb the Ladder, where students worked their way up solving various addition and subtraction problems that started with single digit math problems and increased to three and even four digit math problems!
