 January’s Word Family:        __est

 Math:

 We will wrap up Topic 8, and continue to focus on more addition and subtraction.  When practicing at home alternate between addition and subtraction.  Use words like “more” or “joined” for addition.  Use words like “take away” or “how many are left” for subtraction.  Say a word problem and then have your child solve. This is a difficult concept for many students.  Please spend time practicing this at home.
