This week, we will be learning about early subtraction skills. We are using word problems like:
If you have 6 balloons and 3 of them pop, how many do you have left?
Remind your children that there are 3 ways for them to solve this problem:
1. Use counters or objects to act it out.
2. Use drawings to show the actions.
3. Think of it as an addition problem i.e. - 3 + ___ = 6.
Let me know if you need any other ideas - I will be sending home math homework this week to accompany our spelling homework. This should help our kiddos get some extra practice with addition and subtraction.
Upcoming Dates:
Spelling Test - Friday Sept. 30
Triple R Reading Club - 8:00 am - for a free book & breakfast, join us in the library - Friday Sept. 30
NO SCHOOL - Teacher Inservice - Friday Oct. 7
Have a great week!
