					<description><![CDATA[(3/02) The fabulous superintendent, Mr. Webb, created two wonderful stories about Mrs. Parmer’s class this morning. One story was about the book mystery and the other was about a lost dog. Our class worked together to find the books that were taken from the library and learned to help each other take care of the dog until the owner showed up.  
The class was so engaged and loved the stories so much. 
Thanks, Mr. Webb, for reading to our class!]]></description>

Mrs. Shea reviewed grouping with M&Ms. Students discussed grouping M&Ms by color then discussed which group was bigger and smaller. At an independent center, students sorted coins according to their appearance, size and color. At Mrs. Ashley’s table, students raced to make 120. Students used counters and dice to race against each other to make it to 120. Students had to use basic addition to find their next place. After finding their place, students had to state the number they landed on.]]></description>
