Monday 5/13

The kindergarteners learned about the ocean this morning.  They are increasing their background knowledge in preparation of the next Magic Tree House book- Dolphins at Daybreak.  Ask your child which fact they wrote and drew about today.

First graders worked on fact families- three numbers that can make 4 equations.  For example 2, 3 & 5. The two addition equations: 2+3=5 and the turn around or flip flop fact 3+2=5
The two subtraction equations 5-2=3 and 5-3=2.
First graders heard the first chapter of Charlotte's Web- a favorite first grade read-aloud at both Stratton and Thompson.


Both groups moved through math stations this afternoon.  Ask your child to tell you one station they worked on.
The day ended with a Time for Kids magazine about animals.
