Math

Today we took our Unit 4 Assessment. It will be going home next week. Our next unit is on addition facts to 20. Students will learn different ways to solve addition facts with sums up to 20. We will also continue to work on subtraction facts, doubles, and fact families. If you have not purchased flash cards at home, you can always have your student make them with note cards. It is important that they are practicing them at home because it will help them become more fluent with their facts.

Cold Weather

Please remember that recess will be outside if the wind chill is 20 degrees or warmer. Students will not be allowed to stay inside for recess unless they have a note from your family doctor.
