Reflective Math Thinking

Hello Families-

We've had a short but productive week here at Rick Marcotte Central School! This week in math, we completed our first unit on facts to sums of 20. We looked at put together problems, comparing problems, take apart problems and how many more/fewer problems. After the assessment, students were given their post assessments back with a yellow circle around problems that had a mistake. We celebrated these mistakes, as of course, they help us learn, and then used our growth mindsets to try to solve them again. What a helpful way for students to see how they did on their assessments while also giving them an opportunity to fix up and continue to practice their math skills.

This week in reading we played guess the covered word with partners. We used our three cueing systems (visual, syntax and meaning) to figure out what our partner's words were. This helped us bulk up these skills while having a blast!

Other Things to Ask Your Child About:
- Crafternoon
- Our writing growth chart
- Break Tens facts
- The Bandaid Lesson

Have a wonderful long weekend!
Kelly
