This week in Math we continue working with 2-digit subtraction concepts. We will be practicing 2-digit subtraction, using addition to check subtraction, using rounding to estimate differences, and working with some mental math strategies to solve problems.
A special sweet "THANKS!" to Sarah Nickless for helping to make our Valentines Day celebration fun.
Coming up...
Just a heads up that we will be taking a field trip on Friday, March 22 to see a live performance of James and the Giant Peach at the Dorothy Mencker Theater (Moraine Valley Community College.) I will be sending more information home soon, but wanted to give you the date asap in case of scheduled doctor/dentist appointments, etc.
