Monday, February 17-Friday, February 21 we have no school for Mid-winter break.

In math we have moved to subtraction story problems. We have been practicing how to take apart larger numbers into tens and ones to make it easier to subtract. This week we are introducing the number path to add and subtract. The number path is similar to using a traditional number line. You move forward to add and backward to subtract. Playing board games at home help reinforce these skills. Family game night is a fun way to spend time with your children with the benefit of learning.

In writing we have been working on giving details to expand on their reasoning. When speaking to your child ask them to tell you more. Ask them questions about what ever they are sharing with you. By doing this, you are having your child practice giving details.

As always, thank you for all your support in educating your child. Remember to read with and to your child. Instill a love for reading.
