Mrs. Orellana's class has been learning about inequalities by using hands-on materials such as number cards, >, < or = symbols, and base-ten blocks to compare numbers and show whether a number is greater than, less than or equal to another number. This skill helps students build a strong foundation in number sense and prepares them for more advanced math concepts. #OHEistheplacetobe

Hooked on learning! 🎣 Mrs. Hudson’s kindergarteners had a blast “fishing” for CVC words! Each student used a pretend fishing pole to catch a word, then read it aloud to practice decoding. From cat to pig to sun, they were sounding out each letter and blending the sounds together like pros! Learning to read is even more exciting when you can catch your words! 🐟📚 #OHEistheplacetobe
