Fun with Language and Numbers Day 3

* We discussed and practiced the adding strategy "making ten". If you know all the numbers that add together to make ten then you can use that knowledge to add other addition facts more easily. For example, 5+8 can be thought of as (5+5) +3, which is much easier to do mentally. 
*We focused on reading with expression and some decoding and fluency strategies while reading the play, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".
* Math Game - Addition Luck - We used double dice but I explained to the kids that they can play the game at home with cards.  Deal out the entire deck to two players. Each player turns over two of their cards. The player with the highest sum wins that round.
