MATH

The students in room one have been reviewing addition strategies for double and triple digit numbers. Remember when you are adding money, you need a dollar sign and a decimal point. This week we will start with subtracting. Keep working on those math fact strategies:

*Make a 10

*Doubles

*Doubles plus one

*Plus one

*Plus two

We have learned "New Groups Above", "New Groups Below" and "Show all Groups". These are just a few methods we have learned when adding which help the students to understand the idea behind regrouping numbers.

Social Studies

Our class wrapped up the Science Unit on the Moon, Earth, and Sun and will begin learning about communities this week.

Question of the Week:

If STEADY and STICKER were the two guide words on a dictionary page, which word below could belong on the page?

*stitch

*stump

*stack

*steak

*staff
