This week we will be warming up our reading and writing brains with some New Year writing activities and checking in on our reading challenge.
This week, students will be reviewing addition and subtraction skills through numeracy games and group work. They will be finishing up their addition and subtraction workbooks and bringing these home at the end of the week.
Next week we will be moving on to our big multiplication unit!
