We are finishing up Unit 1 with our first math test on Monday. We will be starting Unit 2 and learning all about using 5-groups. We will be learning how to find groups of 1-10. We will be relating numbers and things, using our fingers. We will be telling math stories using classroom scenarios, as well as student’s family stories. Your child will be bringing home their math homework folder on Wednesday and Friday this week. On Wednesday, you will find the Unit 2 vocabulary cards in their math folder.
