On Monday we had a field trip to X-Fab. It is a microchip making place. They have large windows on the rooms where they make them. It was very informative and fun. Did you know that they make microchips in a "clean" room. They have to get all dressed up in a full protective suit and can't wear their outdoor shoes before going in the work area. I thought that was interesting. They even have their faces covered. Really cool. They gave all the kids a strip with microchips on it to take home. The kids had a great time and learned a lot. Our next field trip is Friday, when we go tour a bank. That should be a lot of fun.
On the note of subtraction, we started it two days ago and Anna took with it and ran. She loves subtraction. We are still struggling with counting and adding most times, but she loves to cross out some of the shapes and then count whats left. Why didn't we start with subtraction? LOL! This is where we hit in her math book and I didn't think she was ready because we are still having addition issues. I just thought it was funny that she finds it so easy and fun. Her daddy even gave her "extra" homework last night because her couldn't believe how quick she was working the problems. It was too funny to come home to 2 pages of homework completed. She gets 2 stickers on the chart for that one.
Alright, time to get moving. We have school today, I work, Anna has cheerleading and then I go back to work for our monthly work meeting. Have a great day and I will check in with you all at the very latest on Friday about the bank field trip. God bless.
