***Each week we will have "I can" statements in the classroom to reinforce what we are learning and to empower students with the knowledge that they "can" learn and succeed. This week our "I can" statements are: *I can write complete simple and compound sentences. *I can identify the main ideas and details of a story. *I can distinguish between long and short vowels. *I can compare numbers using >, <, and =. *I can recognize a number using place value, number names, and expanded form.
