Just a heads up that we do have an outdoor trip planned for February 5 in the afternoon. I like to give parents plenty of time to prepare for proper clothing for this trip. Most of the items your child will already have. Ski-jacket and ski-pants, hat, neck warmer or scarf, ski gloves or mitts (not fuzzy or woolen mitts or gloves) and longer wool or thermal socks. We always take two pairs of mitts or gloves and two pairs of socks. Your second pair of mitts do not have to be ski gloves or mitts or wool or thermal socks. Believe it or not, many kids get their boots stuck in a snow bank and end up pulling their feet out of their boots and get their socks snowy. Mitts and gloves often get wet and subsequently very cold so we need a spare pair. The key to having fun outdoors and staying warm is proper preparation and clothing. I feel it is very important for children to learn about staying warm and safe in this cold country of ours! Thanks for your cooperation in this. I would like to take two parents on this trip. If you are interested in coming, let me know.
We have been working on a variety of strategies for quickly adding numbers in our head. The strategies we are working on this week are NEAR DOUBLES and MAKE/USE A TEN. See if your child can explain these strategies to you. Have them explain which strategy they would use for the following:
8+7=____ 6+9=____ 6+7= ____ 9+5=_____ 7+3=_____ 4+6=____ 2+9=___
