We are learning how to add and subtract within 20 using different strategies such as 10 frames, number bonds, and the open number line. We will test on Friday to check for understanding.

Reading Homework (optional, but highly encouraged!!) 

**Please read with your child. Make it enjoyable and fun. You can even read to them!! 20 minutes a day is a great goal. Your student has a September reading log they can fill out to keep track of how often they are reading. They also should be bringing home 2 decodables each Friday in their yellow folders. These stories can be read and returned for class money. If they read them 3 times out loud with you, please sign it and have them bring it back. *
