Teacher Appreciation week and Spirit Wear

Math
This week we will compare numbers. We will also begin working on the numbers 10-20 using ten frames. Students need to know that 10+1=11 and be able to represent the number using 10 frames. This work is represented in your childs homework packets for November too. Some students who are already fluent with 10-20 will be working on addition skills too.

All week we are collecting these items for families in our community in need.
