Time for Time

During unit 1 in our math series, we are reviewing and perfecting a lot of our skills from second grade. This is laying the foundation for our "big kid" third grade skills. With that being said, we have lots to practice in order to be ready. So... please begin working on telling time (on an analog clock, the one with hands) and counting money (mixed coins and dollars up to $10). Your work at home will help SO much with our work in the classroom. We tell time to the nearest 5 minute working up to the minute and elapsed time. We should be able to fluently count money up to $5 and will work up to counting mixed coins and bills up to $100 or more, plus change.

You could see some practice pages coming home to help some students practice at home. We also are going to begin working more on fact fluency. Not speed and memorization, but building the foundation again. So we will review doubles facts and then move onto doubles plus one, plus two and making a ten. We will be using a program on the computer to help practice those skills once we have them down in the classroom. Watch for more information on this, as the kids can practice at home as well if they have access and are allowed to use the computer at home.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to email or call. Have a great night.
