Math This week we looked at words for addition and subtraction. Here are some questions you can ask your child to reinforce their learning: What are some words for addition (add, plus, more than, sum, total) and some words for subtraction (minus, subtract, difference, less than, decrease)? Does this make sense: 3 + 2 = 4 +1? (yes, because each side of the equation equals 5) Students have also been practicing their basic math facts to 18. Please practice this with them at home as these basic facts will be super important for the rest of their lives!

We have started our new science study of magnets! Ask your child about the amazing magic tricks Ms. McCullough did today (that weren't really magic but just magnets doing their magic).
