This coming up week, we will start discussing the essential question; What makes a pet special? I am sure the kiddos will love this discussion with real and a few make believe pets in their world. We will also begin lesson 3 in math Add in any order! We will be reviewing doubles in math on Monday as some of the first graders had a hard time breaking apart the doubles to add. If your child still needs help after Monday with this skill I will start math tutoring after school on Tuesday’s from 3:05-3:25. I will send an invite through email if your child could use a little extra help with this skill. Please remember to keep all toys at home and not in backpacks as this causes distractions in the classroom. Thanks so much!. Ms. Strain
