In Kindergarten we have been working hard to master our understanding of addition and applying this skill to our daily routines. Students have been very excited to notice that addition has long been a part of their routine, however they may not have realized it before. For example, last week a student commented on the addition we do each morning when we add up how many people will be having hot lunch. She said, "We do addition every day, it's sneaky!" These discoveries have been a wonderful part of our mathematical learning and I look forward to another week filled with their observations!
If you care to extend this learning at home challenge your child to find the addition in your routines or create some new traditions that include it! Students have also been spending time experimenting with money and the different forms of addition that exist in our currency, if you have a change jar kicking around pull it out!
