What I love Wednesdays

I will be planning a What we've been up to post soon but for now this shall do.

Ps: due to my special educator duties, as well as being on the PBIS committee, and trying to hire an additional teacher, blogging has not exactly been a top priority.

we are working on Properties of Addition. Today we covered the Zero and Commutative Properties. We explored with manipulatives to demonstrate and show how the commutative properties work (pictures coming soon) and tomorrow we tackle the Associate property. I am going to use the above example with unifix cubes to allow students hands on exploration. 

Happy half way through the week day!
