Math

Students have been learning how to

add and subtract three digit numbers
with regrouping. As we finish up this
unit, we will be revisiting money.
During our first unit on money we
focused on identifying coins and
counting them. Now we will dive
deeper into money. Please take some
time to review with your child the
different coins and their values.
Practice counting coins so that they
are prepared to continue working with
money when we start our next unit.

O-State opinion (Intro)

R- Give reasons (2-3)
E- Provide an example, explana-on OR evidence
O- Restate your opinion (conclusion)

When students give a reason it needs to be followed up by an
example, explana-on, or some evidence to support
their reason. ARer this is done, then they can
provide addi-onal reasons to strengthen their
argument in support of their opinion.
