Calculators

We introduced calculators today.  The class had an opportunity to learn how to turn on a calculator, clear the screen and input numbers.  We talked about how calculators can be useful.  Then we worked on using ten to make teen numbers.  Some of us used number models to make numbers like 14 (10+4) while others made the teen numbers with a tower of ten and then ones.

The kindergarten is also practicing using all our reading Super Powers.  Ask your child which super power is most helpful to him or her.
