Happy Monday,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. It was nice seeing all the happy faces at the baseball opening day. I can't believe we only have 4 more days of school until spring break. The students and teachers are looking forward to our week off.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

A big thank you to all the Parents, Family and Friends that were able to come and watch the 1st graders present their slideshows.  They really worked hard on these and were so excited to get to present them to you.

Math News From Miss Garcia

It’s Spring Break week!  The students and teachers are excited and ready for a week of relaxation.  I hope that your family is doing something fun and exciting. Be safe and enjoy!

The 1st grade students will continue to work on adding up to 100 using both Branch Method and Partial Sums.  Prior to Spring Break we will count amounts of money and work on Problem Solving on numbers higher than 20.

Again, here is an example of the Partial Sums.  Please reference these examples on the blog if you are unsure of how to help your child with these strategies.  

Partial Sums                  2  4 →      20 + 4                            + 3 3  →   + 30   + 3         5 0      50 + 7                                                       + 7          57
