WRITING-We will be writing Similes.  Once they understand them, my kids enjoy writing with similes.  Look for some to come home.

MATH-We will continue to decompose numbers less than 10, into pairs, in more than one way.   For example, 7 can be decomposed (broken apart)  into 3 + 4    or  1 + 6  or   0+ 7

Also, make 2 groups of spoons, shoes, bracelets, paper clips,…

Compare the groups as “less than, greater than, or equal to.”

For example, make 2 groups of pencils.

The first group has 8 pencils.  The second group has 6 pencils.

The first group is greater than the second group.

Thirdly, practice composing numbers 11-19 using 10’s and 1’s.

For example,  17  is  1  10   and  7  1’s

or      10  is   1   10  and  0   1’s
