Week 11/3

Welcome fall!  I have so enjoyed the cooler temps this week and even a little bit of precipitation.  We are diving right in to addition in math.  We will be adding two-digit number by next week using models.  Our strong focus is making ten.  I have shown them how that helps in adding one-digit and two-digit numbers.  By then end of next week, students will be adding two-digit numbers using the regular algorithm that you and I learned.  The most important thing is practice.  I don't care the particular strategy that they use, as long as they understand and get it correct.

Next Friday will be the last day to send in can/dry goods for the Wylie Christian Care Center.  We are in a grade level competition.  I am a very competitive person but especially when it is a competition for a great cause.  I am offering quarters for each can or dry good that students bring.  Be on the look out for information to come out next week regarding an extra incentive!
