Ocean Addition

We are learning to add fish!

DSCN2627

All of the fish want to be friends, so Lauren is bringing all of the fish together into the big ocean. 

DSCN2628

Then Lauren is writing how many fish are in the big ocean after she added them all together.

DSCN2629

Great job, Lauren!

DSCN2630 

Kids can practice adding while playing with their food!  We’re going to practice with gold fish crackers later this week!

I am so happy to have caught this moment on camera.  When kids finish their snacks, they one-by-one head over to the library to read.  I love how interested they all look and how much fun they are all having reading.

This is what it’s all about…
