Cute packs! I love how you included penguins with valentine's - perfect match!<br />Vicky<br /><a href="http://traditionslaughterandhappilyeverafter.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> Traditions, Laughter and Happily Ever After</a>vicky1970https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786884128105747624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699906712318762342.post-70363974205877752682013-01-23T16:22:51.276-08:002013-01-23T16:22:51.276-08:00Singapore Math - huh?

I always wonder if it the language that trips them up - maybe they can't follow the way we say it. It's hard to find new ways of teaching something and explaining it, but I guess the repeated exposure and practice, practice, practice does the trick. <br /><br />I appreciate you taking the time to comment :)<br /><br />MelissaMelissa Machanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590583126411470969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699906712318762342.post-33320187038573786522013-01-23T16:18:33.678-08:002013-01-23T16:18:33.678-08:00Thanks for the support Wendy!

I just keep chugging away and try to create activities that will help them turn the corner. It's all we can do -right :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />MelissaMelissa Machanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590583126411470969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699906712318762342.post-69180661334391503702013-01-23T00:01:17.954-08:002013-01-23T00:01:17.954-08:00Mine is struggling with comparing numbers (i.e. 7 ...Mine is struggling with comparing numbers (i.e. 7 is 1 more than 6; 7 is 1 less than 8) - we use Singapore Math so my kids need more practice with this!<br /><br />cheriemae@gmail.comCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816187200832992554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699906712318762342.post-38865701035508353832013-01-22T19:51:38.389-08:002013-01-22T19:51:38.389-08:00Adorable!

I have 6 NON-READERS... 20% of my class..(lots of issues, but still makes a teacher feel as if I haven't done my job). Hang in there!
