Mental Math

Unit 6 is a unit on adding by teaching students to add double digits by using some different techniques (the math text calls it mental math)

for example: 34 + 20 =
step one add only the tens:
30 + 20 = 50 (correct now...:)
step two now add the ones
50 + 4 = 54

Eventually I will show student how to add using regrouping (carrying).
but mental math can help students get a very close estimate of the correct answer...

Poetry

This week our language lesson will include poem writing.
By Friday your child will recite an original poem that he
or she has composed...should be fun....

Parents: A Big Thank You

Parents and followers of our blog:

Thank You from the bottom of my heart and the 22 other little hearts in my class for our very successful re-creation of the First Thanksgiving! I doubt that the Pilgrims really ate as well as we did...Thank You for the donations, help and support you gave our 2nd grade team and especially your children...we did place mats but instead of using them I elected to send them home...I couldn't bear to see them get stained...the kids really worked hard on them...the napkin rings are a nice addition to your child's own Thanksgiving dinner..Again parents thank you..
