We had a great first day of swimming! We will be swimming everyday this week. Here are a couple of things to take note of.
-Please make sure your child hangs up their towel and bathing suit up when they get home; so they have dry things for tomorrow.

In math we are learning....

Math: In math students are working on adding and subtracting skills. Here is a list of skills and questions we are covering in math groups.
- 1 more and 2 more ( example: Sara what is 1 more than 15? or Bill what is 2 more than 21?) 
- 1 less and 2 less ( example: Elizabeth what is 1 less than 13? or Andrew what is 2 less than 27?) 
- adding doubles ( example: 1+1=, 2+2=, 4+4=, 5+5=, 6+6=, 8+8=, 9+9=, 10+10=, 20+20, 50+50= ) 
- doubles plus 1 ( example 4+5 you could think 4+4 plus 1 more is 9)
-making ten ( example: list all the ways you can make 10. )
-Fact families for example give your child 3 numbers and have them write down all the facts that go with those numbers.
6,7 13
7+6=13 13-7=6
6+7=13 13-6=7
