Dear Parent,

Math
In math, we will begin our subtraction unit, subtraction facts to 12. The lessons teach children to count back and to use addition to subtract. Please continue to practice both addition and subtraction facts at home. Some students tend to confuse the two skills.
A good site to practice math facts is “Are you a Math Magician?” http://oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/mathmagician/maths1.html.
