Hello, It was nice to see everyone at conferences. Your support at home helps your child and I very much. I sent home a math homework page today. We are working on subtraction strategies. Hopefully, your child is getting on the xtra math site frequently. It is amazing to see how much easier ALL math is for them when they get their math facts cemented in their brain. This week we are starting unit 2 in our Lead 21 reading series. We will be focusing on changes, including changes with animals, plants, and our world. I think this will be a fun unit. We will spend quite a bit of time talking about desert plants and animals this week. The spelling words this week are l blends so they are a little challenging. Extra practice at home would be a great idea. Have a wonderful week!
