K3 News!!
February 25th-March 1st
Coin Practice at home!
Please practice at home identifying the coins in your purse or wallet. Have your kids sort them and tell you how they know it's that coin. We learned the faces of everybody on the coin, and they need to look at them and be able to tell you that is a quarter because of George Washington or that it's the biggest coin etc.
Activity we play- throw a bunch of coins on the floor and tell the kids "go pick up a penny" or "go get a quarter and a dime". It's super important they know what each coin is because in first grade they start counting coins!
WORD PROBLEMS!! I'm going to start putting in a word problem each week in the newsletter. It would be a fun idea to do this word problem with your kiddo at home! Have them show you the 6 step problem solving process:
1. Read the question
2. Rewrite the question in a statement: (There are ___ markers in all)
3. WHO or WHAT is the problem about
4. Draw a model (part part whole)
5. Solve your equation -- (make a numberline, draw a picture, something to show how you solved it)
6. Check your answer
Word Problem:
Mrs. Saxon had skittles for dessert. First, she ate 4 skittles. Then, she ate 6 skittles. Later she snuck and ate 3 more skittles. How many total skittles did she eat today?
