A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK:

*Math: We will continue to focus on addition and subtraction with greater numbers and problem solving. We will continue our addition fact fluency. If your child passes the fast fact test, they will move onto subtraction. If they do not pass by Wed. 11/12, each day of retake will result in a one point deduction from their fast fact grade in addition (worth 10 points). Please email me with any questions. Our ch. 3 test is tentatively set for 11/18.
Have a great weekend!
