Fun with Language and Numbers Day 6

*We reviewed the "making ten" strategy and "nearly doubles", playing games to reinforce the nearly doubles strategy.

*We read through "The Gigantic Rutabaga" play. It was obvious that the kids are getting into the habit of reading with more expression. I also noticed improved fluency.


*For learning the 100 most common words that kids use when writing, we learned the "Look, Spell & Listen, Do, Check" strategy. This involves the three modes of learning: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. First look at the word. Then spell the word aloud and listen to yourself. Then walk (movement) over to a chalk/white board and write (do). Come back to the word to check that it was spelled correctly.
