This week's objective is to...

• Review numbers 11-20... Our class is struggling with this. Can you review these numbers each night with your child? They need to identify numbers 11-20, count numbers 11-20 numerically, and understand the quantities of numbers 11-20.
  

Language Arts:
Objectives...

• Identify and use punctuation marks (period and question marks).

Thanks for reading! Have a good week.
