Happy Valentine's Day!  Happy 100 Day!  We have been very busy catching up from all our snow days last week.  100 Day was moved from last Thursday to Monday as a result of the blizzard.  We had a blast counting to 100 every different way imaginable.  We counted jumping jacks and Fruit Loops by 10's, we counted blocks by 5's, we counted hops by 25's and by 2's...it was exhausting, but great practice!

Also this week we started talking about hibernation.  We talked about what we already know about hibernation.  Then we came up with questions that we want to answer about hibernation this week.  We also read the book, Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson to see what happens when a bear and his friends hibernate.

In Math we started Topic 11: Subtraction.  So far we have learned about take away and leftover.  Next week we will begin working with the minus sign.
