Learning Addition Facts

We've started learning addition facts in math. We are starting with the doubles facts. First we learned a doubles rap.
Then we got our very own flashcards. We wrote the answers on the back of the cards and then practiced with a buddy. We're taking our cards home to practice each night too!After that we watched a cute video song on our smartboard. You can watch it at home too. I've added it to our links. Finally, we practiced on our own with a math worksheet.In reading we are still learning about animals. We read Babies on the Go by Linda Ashman and learned many different ways that animals babies get from one place to another.

First grade is a big year with a lot to learn. I'm proud of all of our kids for working so hard at school and practicing at home too.
