Hello Families,

  • Fees are now up on MY CBE Power School 
    • Please login to your account to pay
Words of the Week:
  • To continue our practice from last week of the common sight words here is 'List Two'

Math:
We have started our exploration of addition to 100. There are many different strategies to use when adding numbers. At the moment we are focusing on using our knowledge of 'Doubles' , 'Friendly Tens' and 'Bridging Through 10' to solve a variety of addition questions. It is important that all students are able to recall their addition facts to 10 (Friendly Tens) and the 'Doubles' facts to 18. When students have a strong grasp on these facts, large addition problems are much more manageable.  Please spend some time at home reviewing these facts to ensure your child is able to use their mental math skills efficiently. 







Math Websites:
Here are two math websites we have started to use in class. Feel free to explore them at home.
