Our K-2 teachers are reading the book Number Sense Routines by Jessica Shumway.  Shumway says we need to provide our students with opportunities to "bump into" number sense daily.  Solid number sense is built over time and can rarely be directly taught.  As teachers, we must design these opportunities for students to grow their understanding of numbers, relationships between them, and how to manipulate then to solve problems.  Here are some ways number sense was developed in VES students today!!
