We're going to the BOOK FAIR tomorrow!

Our class will be visiting the book fair tomorrow at 8:45. Books usually start at a cost of $6.00.

Remember, by purchasing books through book fair and book orders, you're directly supporting our school and our classrooms. Scholastic gives back a percentage of sales to the schools in the way of supplies and books.

Sarah makes 10 on a number line.

Posted: March 13, 2013

In this short video clip Sarah is trying to solve 8 + ___ = 15. The audio is a little difficult to hear but you can see that Sarah draws a number line and puts the number 8 and then the number 15 on it. She takes a jump of 2 to get to ten and then she knows that she needs to take a jump of 5 to get to 15. She adds the 2 and 5 together to get 7.
