Choice Time Slide Show:  Please click on the above link to watch a quick slide show of choice time.
Choice Time is such an important time for kids to explore, play together, and learn to solve problems on their own.  The students are really working on doing this successfully.  Please talk to your child about how they are playing, talking and interacting with their peers.

During Math Workshop students have a computer station where they play Everyday Math Games.  Students do need to share a computer and take turns with another child.  This can be a challenge at times.  We are working on both sharing and taking turns.

Everyday Math Games - Computer Station


MATH NEWS!!!!!!!
Math Facts:   Students are starting to work with addition facts now in math.  Please start working/quizzing your child on facts 0-10.  The faster they can recognize them by memorization the easier math will be.
Example:  4+3 = 7
Playing Dice-Throw Record
(Students throw the dice,add up the 2 numbers, and record the sum in their student journal)
