1. Dear Parents, We had a great time learning about things from the past on Friday. Thank you so much for being supportive! Respectfully, Fallon Jones This week we are learning about… MATH- We are working on problem solving with adding and subtracting. Counting On: No matter how big the number, counting up is fast 5 + 3 = 8 Say 5 then 6, 7,8 Counting Back : Start with the larger number and count backwards 8 – 5 = 3 Say 8 then 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 Making 10 or Friends of 10: student will know their 10 facts 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5, 6+4, 7+3, 8+2, 9+1 Doubles for subtraction : Any number minus itself equals 0 8-8=0 Addition Doubles: Adding an identical number to itself, such as 8+8. Neighbors: Doubles + 1 ex.: 7+8 (7+7=14, so 7+8=15) Hidden Ten: 7+5 I know that 5+5=10 and there are 2 leftover, so my answer is 12 (This strategy was introduced for the 1 st time today). We will continue to practice all of these strategies Language Arts- We are working on character traits. Our high frequency words this week are: did, want, says, had. We are also working on ‘wh’ words. Science/Social Studies- We are learning about good citizenship and how heat changes objects. Important Dates: December 17 th : Winter Party 1-2 p.m. (more details to come) We will do a book exchange, so please purchase a gender neutral book for under $5.00, and I will send out a list with an item for your child to bring.
