We use my 3B Rule in subtraction. I sent this home today as well. We also talk about going to the place value bank and exchanging a ten for 10 ones.

Awesome article on our language to develop executive functioning given to me by Michelle Ryan-Rivers.

1/2 Day tomorrow and Pajama Day!

Social Scripts

Today in social group we talked about conversations and how we ask questions and give information during a conversation. We practiced writing a short (4 exchange) conversation about Halloween. It would be helpful if you could practice staying on one topic and having your child ask you questions at home to reinforce this. Feel free to really emphasize that when he/she asks you questions, it makes you happy to be able to answer them!

The cost will be $12.00 per student. They will need to bring a packed lunch that day. Permission slips are on their way home today. : ) We are very thankful to our very own Mrs. Trainor's husband for getting us all the tickets to the farm donated. We just have to pay for transportation.
