Language:
We continue to work on our Pourquoi Tales. They kids are enjoying working on them and sharing their stories with others.
Math:
We are working on 2 and 3 digit addition (with and without regrouping). PLEASE practice at home, especially over the break. If you do practice, please be sure your child is showing their work (steps) on how to solve the problem (for example carrying a ten to the tens column).
We have been working on using expanded form addition; traditional addition; and using base ten blocks to solve the problems.
*** Math Makes Sense Textbook practice
Please refer to lessons 6, 11 and 13 for additional addition practice for 2 and 3 digit addition.
