Math
study 10 facts
1+9=10, 2+8=10, 3+7=10, 4+6=10, 5+5=10, 6+4=10, 7+3=10, 8+2=10, 9+1=10
It is very important that students study and practice these facts. They should be memorized. They will be needed for mental math. If they are stopping to add these on their fingers they will need more than the alotted class time to finish their work.

Several students are out of duo-tangs and tablets we will be using more throughout the year. One of the important skills we work on in the elementary grades is organization, a place for everything and everything in it's place. I know the children have a lot to talk about in the evenings and school supplies are probably not very high on that priority list.

Quiz - Sign / corrections math facts 5X each
Practice skip counting 2's, 3's, 5's, 10's You can help your child by making a game of this. Skip count while skipping, bouncing a ball, marching in the spot or doing some other physical activity. The car is a great place to work with your child you have their attention and it helps to amuse them while you drive (I've had many a hectic drive lol!). Skip count the telephone posts you pass or the cars you may pass or play clapping games. Learning can be fun and is best when integrated with physical activity. This skill will help tremendously when they start studying multiplication facts in the very near future.
