My favourite time of year. 3c’s little Christmas tree is done 😃😃😃 ThomasAcresPS

A new book read each day, a variety of authors, publishers & topics. New thoughts composed and written each day, building a writing vocabulary....Total lesson time here? =under a week at school... Cost?...how can we afford not to? Reading Recovery is a powerful intervention💫

Making sure the Ss have a chance to use mathematical language when working with division. Another awesome lesson I got from TPL with Rebecca Kerron ThomasAcresPS
