The Jones Girls

I can’t believe the homework Savannah has been bringing home this week!    I thought it was totally amazing that they were learning to do addition in mathematics in Kindy.

Well, guess what…they are now subtracting!!  Yep, Savannah is doing subtraction.     She totally understands it.    I use the term “take away”.   How I do it is 5-2=3…take a group of 5 cheerios and take away 2 cheerios, how many are left?  She quickly got the concept down.   She is now using her fingers. 

She can add numbers in her head and she is beginning to memorize easy addition like 1+1=2, 2+2=4, etc.    She is such a smart cookie!!
