Practice page for Fall Break

 We've been working on adding and subtracting with 2-digit numbers. I am sending home this practice sheet to help students get extra practice and not forget what we've learned over the Fall break. Students who bring it back will get a small prize! 

I hope you all enjoy your time off! 

Here are some videos to help understand the strategies we use.

Lexile Book Search

 Here is an excellent resource for parents who are looking for books on your kids reading level. We use Lexile reading leveling. You can go to this website and search books on your child's reading level by Lexile score. When searching for books, I would stay within 100 above or below. 

Refer to the images below to help you get started.
