Budding Meteorologists!

Happy New Year!

We have hit the ground running this week.  We are beginning our new topics of study relating to maps and weather.  The Sharks have already had so much fun just looking at maps, and learning how to use the fun meteorologist tools! 




This week I introduced subtraction with regrouping.  If you have pennies, legos, etc. that could be used to represent groups of 10 and 1's for homework, it would really help.  Overall, if the manipulatives are out, the Sharks have a great grasp of the concept of borrowing a group of ten to subtract the ones (regrouping the math world).
