We spent part of the morning talking about when to double the final consonant before adding -ed. I thought I'd share it with you.
If a word is a 3 letter word you double the consonant and then add -ed.
If a word has 2 consonants at the end of the word you don't double the consonants before adding -ed.
There is a white sheet of paper in the folder with these kinds of words on it.
*The Lenten store made $24.75 for the first week. Please send in change. That would work better in a labeled envelope with name and "store" for this week or a coin purse or wallet would be super!

* Most remember to put their names on Math homework sheets. Those that don't, I have no way of knowing whose is whose so they are not corrected and returned.
