Addition and subtraction algorithms

Announcements: NO SPELLING WORDS every week. Instead, we took a spelling inventory pre-test today to create an individualized spelling list for your child. Our goal is to learn spelling generalizations rather than memorization!

OPEN HOUSE IS 8/26 at 6:00!!!!!!! Please come by and say hello!

In math we have been working on addition and subtraction standard algorithms. Ask your child how these methods work! When I was in elementary school, I just learned to add and subtract by following the steps. It's so wonderful to now UNDERSTAND and MAKE SENSE of why these standard algorithms work.
