Here’s how we’re making mental pictures of our doubles
2 + 2 = 4      Picture a wagon with 2 wheels on each side and 4 wheels total
3 + 3 = 6      Picture a 6 pack of soft drinks, with 3 cans on each side
4 + 4 = 8      Picture a spider with 4 legs on each side and 8 legs total
5 + 5 = 10   Picture 5 fingers on each hand and 10 fingers total
6 + 6 = 12   Picture a dozen of eggs with 6 eggs in each row and 12 eggs total
7 + 7 = 14   Picture two weeks on a calendar with 7 days in each week and 14 days total
8 + 8 = 16   Picture a 16 pack of crayons with 8 crayons in each row and 16 crayons total
9 + 9 = 18   Picture a semi (18 wheeler) with 9 wheels on each side and 18 wheels total
10 + 10 = 20  Picture all your fingers and toes for a total of 20

We are excited to start serving breakfast on Monday at 7:45am in the Q1 gym! Please click here to watch a video regarding procedures that should be followed for dropping students off for breakfast. The front doors will not be open until 8am still, so it’s important for you to watch the video for details about where and when students should be dropped off. As a reminder, students who do not qualify for free or reduced meals, will be charged $1.50 for breakfast. We thank Kristen Hales and our lunch staff for putting all this together!

Homework
 

1. Math Letter 
2. Reading Passage and activities 
3. Read 20 minutes each night. 

I hope  you’re all familiar now with the homework requirements in our classroom.  After this week I will not be posting about homework. It will continue to look the same throughout the year, unless I inform you of any changes.  Please continue to look for it in your child’s blue take-home-folder on the first day of the school week, help your child work steadily on it throughout the week, and will be due on the last day of the school week (usually Fridays).


For extra math practice, Math Games and Activities will always be available on our blog when you hover over the “Homework” tab.
