Math: Math is a skill that like reading is needed in everyday living. Many students rely on their fingers to add and subtract. This will only be useful for a little while in the first grade. We will introduce "fact families." Our goal is to show the students that there are different ways to find an answer. This is hard to explain in text but once we start these fact families, please feel free to ask questions. But while we are getting there, I suggest flash cards and memory games with your child at home.
