Math
      In Chapter 5, we will count on and use doubles to find sums to 10.  Please practice your addition fact flashcards at home!  Your child should begin to memorize them!  In Chapter 6, we will practice different ways to learn the addition facts through 10.  Practice, practice, practice!  By the end of November, we will also begin our 2 minute timed drills.  Your child will need to answer a full page of addition facts in 2 minutes!  They need to practice using their TouchPoints or begin memorization!  Please let me know if you need help with TouchMath counting.

TouchMath:

Addition:  "I touch the bigger number, say it's name, and continue counting."

Subtraction:  "I touch the bigger number, say it's name, and count back."
