- This week we are talking about tens and ones. When discussing numbers greater than 9, we learn that our numbers follow a pattern in the base 10 number system and have place value. That 1 in 12 is not just a 1; its value is 10. So, when we discuss teen numbers this week, we will be emphasizing "ten and 2" make 12.

Memory Work
- Please take a few minutes each homeschool day to review memory work! (Poem, Proverbs verses, Geography song) Just a few minutes each day can make a big difference in their memorization. We are training their minds to memorize easily! You will be amazed at their ability to do so, if you persevere in that training.
