Week of March 9-13, 2015

Our wonderful language specialist (consultant) Marie gave two very informative presentations last week to the k-2 parents. I am including two slides I feel most asked by parents in this blog post.

In Math, students continue to improve subtraction proficiency. Students are divided into groups during centers and rotate to work with teachers in small groups as well. In Kindergarten the students are truly mastering the concept of subtraction (taking away) and solving problems using a variety of ways. Thanks to parents who donated play-doh, subtraction play-doh is a huge hit! You may incorporate math problems into daily routines - meal time is a great place to start the conversation. Kids love playing with food, so have them line up their cereal, apple slices, grapes, and such and the limit is endless.
