Week 1 is officially in the books


Your child's first week of third grade is officially in the books.  It went well.

We worked with addition and subtraction by using fact families.  We used dominoes to come up with an addition problem.  Then we wrote the members of the fact families for those numbers. For example, if the domino had five pips on one side, and 3 on the other, our first problem was 5+3=8.  The rest of the members were 3+5-8, 8-5=3, and 8-3=5.  We also started our math notebooks.

We did some reading.  I am listening to each child read individually so that I may have an idea what I need to do to help each child do his or her personal best in third grade.  One thing that helps, no matter where your child is in reading, is to read to them, and let them read to you.  

The children drew pictures of me today.  I can't wait to see them all.

We worked on classroom and hall procedures, as well. 

Have a great weekend!
