Vowel Bat!

In skills block, we are learning about syllables and vowels.  We have some great "vowel detectives" in our class!  Here is a glimpse of our new favorite song: Vowel Bat. 

Math Game Fun!


Roll the dice
We love rolling dice and counting the dots!


    

10 frame game
Y and B had a deck of cards.  They took turns flipping the cards over.  If they flipped a 8, they had to show 8 counters on the ten frame!
  
We love rolling the dice and seeing how many times it lands on a certnain number!
