Week of November 14th

Students did a great job making cards for Adam Espenhover,  a Veteran who came to speak to the first graders on Friday.

We also learned a new math game called Addition War.  All you need is a deck of cards to play.  Aces are worth 1 and all face cards and the Joker are worth 10.  The rest of the cards are worth face value. Pass out the full deck between two players.  Each player flips over two cards and adds them together. Whoever has the greater sum wins the cards that were turned over.  If the players get the same sums, there is addition war.  Each player turns over two more cards.  Whoever has the greater sum then gets all of the cards.  The kids really enjoyed playing this once they caught on!
