 Back to school after a long break!  I hope your kids enjoyed their time off!

single long vowel u--menu, music

ew-few, new, view

Math

Today we learned a new math skill.  Addition Regrouping--we have worked all year on this.  When we have more than 9 ones, we bundle ten and move them to the tens place.  In our math lesson, we circled 10 ones and moved them with an arrow to the tens place.  Then we count how many ones we have left.  

It would be a great idea to have your child do the homework page to practice if they haven't turned it in!

KC Wolf visit

 Tuesday was an exciting day for CCE, but especially Edison and our class!  Edison got a surprise visit from KC Wolf, the Chiefs' mascot for his birthday!!  

The kids had a blast with KC Wolf!  Then, Edison walked with KC Wolf through the halls while the kids high-fived and cheered!  If you haven't seen the pictures and videos on the CCE website, here are great ones below!  The videos wouldn't download on the Blog.

KC Wolf signed our board!

Edison got a signed Nerf football!
