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!
