This week students began to look at direction
and how to find their way through a maze.

then explained the path they took to a friend
who then recorded the path on a grid. Students
learned vocabulary such as left, right, straight,
back, turn and turn. Students also reviewed
number bonds.

their groups and practiced spelling their magic
words.
