In Math, we are continuing to work on place value. Students recognize that 34 means 3 tens and 4 ones and that it also means 30 + 4. Students are also comparing numbers using < > =. Students will be adding 10 more and 10 less to a number in their heads. (Knowing that 34 is 10 less than 44). Place value is such an important concept for number sense and it builds the foundation for higher math.
Next week we are back with spelling words. Our focus is words with -qu and x. Our words are six, box, wax, queen, quack, quit, want, and were. I want six bugs in a box. Were the king and queen made of wax?
Next week our specials are: PE/Counselor, Art, Counselor/PE, Music, and PE/Library.
Remember, even with warmer days, we still need to bring coats to school. The first recess can be cold!
Don't forget to send in snacks for your child.
