Week 28

Hello and Happy Monday!  The first graders will continue to work on Branch Addition and Subtraction.  Focusing on addition on Monday and Tuesday, then subtraction Wednesday and Thursday.  We will also be completing some 3rd quarter assessments.  3rd Quarter ends this Thursday, March 10th!  We cannot believe how fast the time has gone by!  These kiddos have made some much progress since last August!  


Here are some subtraction examples for Wednesday and Thursday’s Homework.

Example   34 - 2 = 57 -  12 =
                    ↙ ↘   ↘                                           ↙ ↘   ↙ ↘
                  30 + (4 - 2) =                                 50  7  10  2
30 + 2 = 32       (50 - 10) + (7 - 2) =
                                                                             40  +  5  =  45
