Add Em UP!

The kids are having fun learning about adding. We are applying our writing and math skills each new day. After each lesson this week the children wrote about the strategy that they used to solve their equation.   We used a variety of manipulatives and setting mats to tell our joining match stories.  Today, we used dominoes for adding, and played an interactive game on the Promethean board.

The children have learned to use math talk.

 "Once upon a time I was in the store and I bought 3 pineapples..."

"This is fun!"

Math minds at work!

We are continuing our unit of study on the 3 Rs and our environment.  The children learned what conservation means.  They also learned that they are conservationist in training.

We read a wonderful story called Wump World.  Ask your child about this book, and ask them to share connections that they made.

Tomorrow is report card day. Many graded assignments will also be coming home and papers from the office.

Please help me in celebrating your child's endeavors. Find all of the wonderful parts of their hard work and let them brag!!! They've earned it! 

 If there are areas to improve on, discuss that too. 

Please return the parent questionnaire about your child's enrollment in Kingston for the 2015-2016 school year BY FRIDAY!

As always, thank you so much for the treats for the reward bin and your continued efforts with your child at home.  You make a difference in their learning!
