Math
As we completed our unit on addition and subtraction, students were introduced to the partial sums algorithm. This algorithm is an addition strategy for adding two and three digit numbers by adding the tens, then the ones, and finally, finding the sum.

Reading Workshop
Students have been noticing the organization in non-fiction books and how the author writes to teach new information. We are using what we are learning in this unit to help us write our own non-fiction book about rocks.
Library Field Trip
We will be visiting the downtown branch of the Ann Arbor District Library this Tuesday, December 4th. Students with a library card will be able to check out two books. If your child already has a library card please send it to school with them on Tuesday. If you filled out a library card application for your child to get a new library card they will receive their card at the library on the day of the trip.
If you would like to join us on this trip please contact me at (734)-997-1216 or padgensa@aaps.k12.mi.us.
