Math Strategies for Parents!

Yay!  Parents I heard your concerns about the math strategies coming home and I have added a new tab to the blog. Click on the tab above titled "Math Strategy Information" to read all about conceptual math strategies.  You can even find a link to view some of the strategies your child already understands for some basic operations!  I hope this helps with all of your concerns!

Star Students!

We had our first star students of the week!  These 3 worked so hard all week and are very deserving!

Division Strategies!

We have already started to discuss division strategies and I am so excited!  In all of my classes I was able to see some great math discussions and some great strategies!  We are going to have a great math year!

Happy Birthday Demarcus!

What a great first day! We had a blast!

We are all so excited about how our year has started off!  We had a chance to discuss scientific tools, discuss rectangles and squares and got into our first class novel!

Summer Fun!

We just got back from our East Coast tour!  We had a chance to visit Sylva, NC in the mountains on our journey to Virginia.  After NC, we went to Radford, VA where Ryan was a flower girl in her cousins wedding.  Finally we stopped for a couple nights at a KOA campground in Virginia Beach, VA.  I am sure we will be back there next year!  Ryan and her cousin even caught a 10 pound fish in the Chesapeake Bay!  They were able to feed us all for dinner with one catch!

Getting in some fun exercise!

This was the scary part!

We got to see a carrier heading back out to see while on our fishing trip!

Ryan's little fish!

This is my sister, my grandma and Ryan and I!  We are so lucky to get to visit Ryan's great grandmother every year!

Ryan also got to see her great grandfather on our journey!

In Virginia Beach, we use tunnels a lot instead of bridges.  We travel under the water, I feel much safer!

Had to get a picture of the teeth!

Fun and Busy Summer!

We are only a couple weeks into summer and we have already had so much fun!  I will post some pictures from my home town on our visit up to Virginia too!  Hope you are all having a great time relaxing and getting ready for next year!
