Subtraction Poem

Teaching subtraction and carrying over can be a nightmare.  Or a simple poem can help your child remember what to do when faced with this Math.  


Subtraction poem

More on top? no need to stop

More on the floor? go next door and get 10 more!

Numbers the same? Zero's the game!

I am faced with teaching my 6 yr old subtraction this coming week. It works well when they are thinking about actual items but once it's numbers alone on a page... I feel like I am speaking Greek to them the first time we go through some subjects.  I am so glad K-12 teaches to Mastery of a subject.  It makes it so I can help them go over it again until they understand.

Maybe we can make some Math facts pumpkins.

I love my Silhouette warmer with Linden wrap.  The Linden wrap reminds me of my childhood and laying under a huge tree and watching the light filter through the leaves and branches.  With the addition of the Holiday wrap (limited time only)  I can change my decor without having to change my warmer!

Fell off it again..

I fell off the healthy wagon again..  right into a big pile of mini chocolate cream pies and cookies.  With a month of virtual school under our belt you would think I was in a schedule that would leave some time for me.  This is so far from the truth.

There have been nights I fall into bed struggling to stay awake long enough to have a conversation about our day with my husband.   Sure, I could get up extra early in the morning and sneak in my own workout, but with a huge sleep debt it's a mountain I choose not to climb every morning.  Bad choice.. I know.
How do I get myself out of this chunky rut I am digging for myself?   Stuffing my face with sweets and not working them off.. not even attempting to.  With Magnus now a year old I can no longer call the extra baggage baby weight.. unless it's a food baby I'm talking about.

Even though I am over being sick with a nasty case of Sinusitis paired with the lovely ear aches to keep you awake all night, I will be honest and say my bike hasn't left the garage in months.

Time to make a health promise to myself.  No more 380 calorie mini pies. They are really not as good as pictured and you would rather wear your goal jeans again.  No more snacking after 7pm, because those snack are never a healthy choice.  If I feel hungry between meals I'm going to try drinking water first.
