Math: Our new skill is the "doubles plus one" 0+0=0, 0+1=1, 1+1=2, 1+2= 3, 2+2 = 4, 2+3=5, 3+3=6, 3+4=7, 4+4=8, 4+5 =9, 5+5=10, 5+6=11, 6 + 6 = 12, 6+7=13, 8+8=16, 8+9=17, 9+9=18, 9+10=19.  We now need to know the "plus ones" and "minus ones" and the "plus zeroes" and "minus zeroes."  (0 + 1, 1+ 1, up to 9 + 1) (1-1, 2-1, up to 9-1) (0+0, 1+0, up to 9+0) (1-0, 2-0, up to 9-0.) PLEASE practice those facts with your child. They should be able to do them quickly now. Also, please practice left and right with your child.
