Homework to Clear Up

The students have cleaned desks and "old unfinished homework" has been located.

Please check your child's backpack and their folders to make sure they clear up any old work before our week of Spring Vacation.  Many students checked out one point AR books today and some students want to check them out on Friday Fun Day.  Please send back any library books that are lingering around your house.  Students need to return books before they are able to check out new ones!

Math has moved into "Borrowing a group of 10" and placing it in the ones colomn.  We are just beginning to learn this skill.  You will notice it on Math Sheet #91.  I help them learn this with a story.
"Hey Mom can I borrow a dime?"
She will tell you, "Yes, but tell me how many I have left."
Then she will remind you to put in into your pocket.

 30
-15    You can't have zero in the ones colomn and subtract 5 so.....
          "Hey Mom, can I borrow a dime?'  She will tell you, "Yes, but tell me how many I have left"
                    Cross out the 3 in the tens colomn, put a 2 right above it.
          Then she will tell you to put the dime into your pocket.
                    Place a small 1 next to the 0 in 30 to make 10.
          Now you can subtract the ones colomn  10 - 5 = 5 and then the tens colomn 2 - 1 = 1
          The answer (which is also called the difference) will be 15.
