Math
Today we began our unit on Addition and Subtraction. The focus of the unit is mental strategies, estimating and problem solving. Show a parent how you can find the sums below adding from left to right and from right to left. The how to add is not slowing some students down, it's the basic addition facts. You should know your addition facts to twenty by heart. You should not be counting on your fingers.

Grade fours shared solutions to word problems, while grade fives should have corrected your Skills Bank. Tomorrow grade fours will correct Skills Bank and grade fives will share solutions to word problems.
We have two grades in the classroom. Sometimes it is necessary for me to work with one grade. It is the responsibility of the other grade to work quietly and respectfully WITHOUT TEACHER SUPERVISION.
