Crabs, location, and computer!

 Learning about growing patterns, practicing counting by 5's, 10's, and 2's and adding groups of numbers.  INQUIRE with your child how drawing crabs helped us with our math number sense last week! 


Calendar this month helped students practice location words - between, above, near, close, right, left, below, etc.  It also surprised us with an interesting pattern - looked at in a variety of ways by our mathematical problem solves.  Can you believe November is upon us already?  November's calendar makers will get us thinking about 2-D shapes.  

During workplaces, we have added the computer as an option to practice math skills.  Students can choose between XtraMath, sumdog, or abcteach.  All these programs help to build fluency when solving numeracy facts.
