•   We talked about the number eight, 8. How do we write eight, 8? Can we find 8 objects?
• We looked at octagons. We counted how many sides it had and we looked in our classroom and outside to see if we could find any.
• We worked closely with the letters Jj, Dd, Pp and Bb. We practiced writing these letters with magna-doodles also looked at words that start Jj, Dd, Pp and Bb.
• Our sight word this week was see. We wrote it with chalk and found the word while reading.
