In math this week, we focused on place value (10's and 1's), addition, and subtraction. Some of our main strategies for adding are the following: counting on (5+3 is 5, 6, 7, 8), making "friendly" numbers (5+7 is 5+5 makes 10 and 10+2 is 12) and looking for numbers we know (5+4, I know 5+5 is 10, and one less than 10 is 9). The kids have been working hard on all of their math skills.
We finished writing our cartoneras this week, and the kids are thrilled about their books! We will have a celebration with other students on Thursday to read different cartoneras and celebrate all the writers in our school! On Friday, we made animal puppets, and the kids did an amazing job writing and had so much fun playing with them! We also spent lots of time outside to enjoy the sunshine!
