Tally Marks

Today we learned all about tally marks!  We know that tallies are grouped in 5's and the fifth one always goes across the first 4 so we can keep track easily!  Sometimes we forget to count by 5's though, and count by 10's!  We practiced tallying, and even created tally charts to organize information like boys and girls, and pets we have.  You can tally things at home, too!  How many spoons are in the drawer?  How many books do you read before bed? How many lonely socks are left after doing laundry?

In reading we learned that readers re-read to learn more. We re-read one of our favorite books and couldn't believe all of the information we hadn't noticed the first time!  We practiced rereading to notice and learn more in our own book bins.


Today was also picture day!  We cannot wait to get our pictures back and see them.  We all looked fabulous!
