Hip Hip Hooray! It’s almost the 100th Day of School!

100 days of school
We will be celebrating the 100th Day of School on Wednesday, February 5.  Each child is welcome to bring a collection of 100 items that day to school (100 buttons, 100 signatures, 100 pom poms…) It’s fun to see what 100 of something looks like!  Just a couple guidelines:  

* Please let your child only bring in a collection that they can carry and manage by themselves 

* No food items (per Quest policy)

*Have fun thinking of a creative or unique collection you want to bring 🙂

Doubles!

Turkey
Our next math lesson includes “DOUBLES” and “DOUBLES +1” problems.  Here is our doubles rap and doubles “pictures” we are starting to learn.  Long car trips might be a perfect time to memorize your doubles over the long break! 🙂  Hoping you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

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
