We also completed skip counting by 5s.2s,10s , 4s and 25s booklet on a hundred chart. Moreover, students had an opportunity to estimate and count the dry pasta in their groups. Each group was given a handful of dry pasta to estimate and then count by 2s, 5s, or 10s.
We completed page 15 in our math books after we figured out how many socks we were wearing altogether (24 students are wearing 48 socks), students showed the number 48 in 4 different ways.(Pictures, tally marks, ten frames, and tens and ones).
We also learned ordinal numbers from first to twentieth by doing different hands-on activities as a class and independently.

Students learned about Vertebrates and Invertebrates by watching an educational video.We had a discussion after the video about how 5 animal groups are classified as Vertebrates and one is classified as Invertebrates. (We will be studying these groups in this unit in detail.) The next day, students completed a cut/paste activity about vertebrates and invertebrates independently .
