In Math, we are completing Unit 1 which was a review of concepts such as time, money, and place value. Thank you for sending in the coins with your child to reinforce making change and different coin combinations. We all enjoyed the humorous story of "Pigs will be Pigs" by Amy Axlerod and the funny poem "Smart" by Shel Silverstein as the class figured out the "money problems" of the characters. Ask your child why the boy in "Smart" was not so smart after all!Check out this video below as school children act out the poem ...
We will soon be moving onto Unit 2: Adding and Subtracting with Whole Numbers, which focuses on concepts leading up to the partial sums algorithm and trade first subtraction. The children have been doing a nice job on their timed tests! Please remember to practice those math facts at home -- this extra practice really does make a difference with their performance on these weekly tests.
"Smart" by Shel Silverstein
