Can you believe it's been almost 3 weeks!? What an awesome start to the year! I wanted to post this parent letter here in the blog and it will be sent home as well (English and Spanish). This letter introduces an alternative addition strategy, or a different way to add two numbers. This is what we're learning in class. Hope this provides you with an understanding of this addition strategy. To read or print the letter, just click on the "Print" or "Fullscreen" links below.

As many of you know, the students in our class are divided into four Houses. The Houses compete each week for points (earned through achieving learning and behavior goals). At the end of the week, the points are used to earn Trashketball points. This week, we have added the "Make 15 Challenge" to Houses. With this new challenge, students must correctly solve 15 math word problems to earn bonus House points. The students were so excited as we began this new challenge! We are excited to see how quickly students earn bonus points by showing their problem solving super star skills!!
This week, we have spent a great amount of time continuing to refining our math problem solving skills. We have been focusing on multiple step word problems (word problems that require two or more operations to solve.) We are continuing to use the UNRAAVEL strategy to break down these word problems. Please continue working on word problems with your child at home and we will continue to practice in the classroom. |
