Hello Again!
This week we continued our focus on addition practice, focusing on the fluency within 5. I began using {these addition flashcards} during Calendar and for added practice in the hallway before restroom breaks. I printed on card stock and placed on a metal ring for easy use. I also printed & cut a set for each student to go home this week during Parent/Teacher conferences. These flashcards are aligned directly to the Kindergarten Common Core! Each set I could purchase through online sources or at a store always had high numbers that I didn’t need. These were just what I was looking for! (Thanks to TpT!!!)
I also started addition timed tests this week. It actually went really well! It did of course take some teaching about not starting until I said, “go” and stopping when I said, “okay stop!” Next week we will start timed test for +1. I feel this fluency and speed is so vital for their young minds!
