*Mrs. Olsen's Math Class: We are working on addition and subtraction word problems and learning new strategies that help support our fact fluency and mental math ability.  See if your child can demonstrate their understanding of the "make a friendly number and count by 10's up the number line" strategy and the break apart strategy. A practice test was given to your child this week. It is due on Thursday 10/3. We will spend Thursday reviewing for the test. The Unit 1 test is on Fri. 10/4. Any unused worksheet pages in the SB or HC for Unit 1 can be completed as extra practice. 

Have a great weekend! Happy Fall!
