Here are Annelise’s favorite books from this past school year.
Annelise, 7
As Om-kas-toe and his sister were serving as lookouts for their Blackfeet tribe, the discovered a strange animal. Life for their tribe would never be the same. Om-kas-toe, by Kenneth Tomasma, was my favorite read-alone book from this school year. In this book Om-kas-toe learns how to hunt, fish and take care of himself. He has lots of exciting adventures in this book. The most exciting is how he captured the elk-dog. You’ll have to read Om-kas-toe to find out what happened.
I listened to my brother, Knud’s Core E read-alouds this year. Caddie Woodland, by Carol Ryrie Brink was my favorite book that we read together. Caddie spends most of her time with two of her brothers. She’d rather be outside having adventures and getting dirty with them, than be inside learning how to sew and cook like the other girls. This story is based on the real life of Carol Brink’s grandma. It takes place during the 1860s in the woods of western Wisconsin. This is a great book to listen to. You’ll like hearing about Caddie and her brothers’ adventures—some are really funny!

In the first half of each I Can Add Booklet, as you read the text, your students will glue in the numeral tiles, or write in the numbers to make the equations true. This section teaches the commutative property—i.e. your students will learn that whether they add 3 + 1 or 1 + 3 the answer will be 4.
Then they will practice writing all previous numbers and tallying the target number. Next, they will glue in number representation (or picture) tiles as demonstrated in the first half of the book and write each equation. A base ten frame with the target number highlighted is included to help your visual learners.
The I Can Take Away Booklets (beginning with the number 5) are laid out in a similar fashion. Your students will decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs using object and numeral tiles (and crossing out those items that were taken away). Then they will record each decomposition by writing the equation. Number lines for “jumping back” are included on the equation recording pages.
The I Can Count By (2, 3, 4, 5, & 10) Booklets will encourage your students’ mastery of these skip count series. Common units (pairs, quadrupeds, pennies, nickels and dimes) are presented in these booklets. Your students will count within the series using these units and a number line.
These booklets are easy to use. Simply print, cut, stack and staple! Your kids will need a crayon or pencil, scissors and glue.
