Math:
- Take out several coins. Practice for at least 10 minutes finding the value of different groups of coins.
- pages 365-366
- Let's learn a new addition game called "Top It". You will need a deck of cards. Here are the directions:
- Materials: A set of number cards with four cards each of the numbers 0-10
- Number of Players: 2 or 3
- A player shuffles the cards and places the deck number-side down on the playing surface. Each player turns over two cards and calls out their sum. The player with the highest sum wins the round and takes all the cards. In the case of a tie, each player turns over two more cards and calls out their sum. The player with the highest sum then takes all the cards from both plays. Play ends when not enough cards are left for each player to have another turn. The player with the most cards wins.

Do you think you can write a story about our pet rocks in the classroom? What do you think they are doing while we are away? Are they playing in our classroom? Are they walking through the halls? Are they having a party? What do you think? Please write your own story and illustrate it. Make sure it has characters, setting, a problem and a solution.
