Have a Great Fall Break!!! 

 

 

 

 We will finish Chapter 1 this week and have our first test on Friday.  We will also be working on our Place Value Project.  The children have done so well with the 2's tables we are ready to move right into the 3's tables.  Please practice with the flash cards we have made in class.  It is a good idea to mix the cards up so that the children are not just learning them in order.  Once they have mastered the 2's and 3's tables mix them both up together to make it more challenging.  We do take time to continue practicing addition and subtraction facts too.  If you have some extra time at home this would also be good to practice.  I really want the children to not use their fingers to add and subtract. Have a GREAT week!
