Math: This week we begin chapter 4, Numbers to 10. Our objectives will be to name, recognize, count, and write numbers 6, 7, and 8.

Homework: Thank you for your responses regarding homework packets. This will be the last week for hard copies of homework to go home with your kids. I will send homework emails on Friday afternoons for the next week. Please print the packets, help your kids complete them, and have your children bring them to school on Friday. I truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this!
