Math
We have started our studies on addition. We have been learning about different strategies as well as words to look for/ listen for to help us know that we are needing to add! We will continue to learn and practice new strategies to find which each learner feels most comfortable with when adding! Be sure to ask your child which strategy they like the most! ( So far we have learned: Draw a picture, count objects, count on your fingers, use a number line, count on and use counting beads -rekenrek)
Please remember that reflex math is a great tool to use at home for your child to work on their fact fluency. Please be sure to have your child do the work, because when they pass a level, they move onto a harder level. If your child becomes frustrated, you can always work on fact fluency with a paper and pencil. This way they can practice strategies learned in the classroom until they can see the patterns.
*If you need the login information again for reflex math, please email me @ kmckinney@coppellisd.com and I will be happy to send that to you!
Science / Social Studies
We will be Classifying Animals in Science. We will classify by Vertebrates (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals) or Invertebrates (insects, crabs, clams, turtles). Kindergartners will be Zoologist who have just discovered a new animal species and create-an-animal! We will follow the Engineering Process by designing our animal. It will be so much fun!!!
Our Chicks should be hatching on April 11th!!!
