Number Writing

At this station, students are working on number writing We begin the year with 0-5 and gradually work our way up to 100 In May, we play a writing to 100 game –There are two dice and one pencil –Each student has a 100 grid paper –When a student rolls doubles they get the pencil and start writing to 100 –The other students continue to roll the dice until someone else rolls doubles. Then they get the pencil
