Hello Families!

In Math, we have been exploring subtraction.  We learned/reviewed new vocabulary such as difference, more, fewer, compare, take apart, and less than. We have been using counters and snap cubes to find the missing part or the rest of a whole set, playing dice and card games to practice comparing and subtracting, and drawing pictures to show subtraction. We have also spent time reinforcing our math skills online at starfall.com.

Pages from your child’s math workbook will be sent home as we finish each chapter. Some of the pages may be completed and some may not.  You will find the workbook pages from our first chapter (addition) in your child’s Thursday Backpack Folder today. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

                        

We have been learning about the life cycles of apples and pumpkins in Science. After reading several nonfiction books, we created our own life cycle of a pumpkin drawings.  Next, we will compare/contrast how the life cycles of each fruit are the same and how they are different.

Classroom supplies

Thank you to families who sent in shared classroom supplies at the beginning of the school year. We are currently running low on disinfecting wipes. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy the weekend!
