We took advantage of the dry weather at the beginning of the week and had an afternoon recess with our 4th grade buddies! Both me and Mr. Graham are beyond impressed by how well they all work and play together!
This week we learned about Ruby Bridges and added her to our biography journal! They loved learning about such an important first grader :)
In math, we started our work with fact families (3 numbers that can make 2 addition and 2 subtraction number sentences). First, we made color fact families (red + blue = purple, blue + red = purple, purple - blue = red, purple - red = blue) and then we used different number fact families to insert into the number sentences. Using color and number fact families provide a great visual representation and and artistic element to this important math concept. Practicing and identifying these fact families will help build the connection between addition and subtraction and help support fact fluency!
