    Mini-Lesson

    Review strategies within 100 (first taught Week 7). Solve 58 + 36 three ways: add tens then ones (50 + 30 = 80, 8 + 6 = 14, 94); make a ten (58 + 2 = 60, 60 + 34 = 94); number line jumps. Then 73 - 45 two ways: count up from 45 to 73 (5 + 20 + 3 = 28) and take away tens then ones. Ask which way your child likes and why.

    Practice

    Explore: your child picks a strategy for each of eight problems and labels it: 29 + 46 (75), 64 + 27 (91), 85 - 38 (47), 91 - 56 (35), 37 + 48 (85), 70 - 24 (46), 53 + 19 (72), 100 - 63 (37). Then choose one addition problem and write a subtraction fact that checks it. Support: use the hundreds chart for every jump. Stretch: solve 29 + 46 mentally and explain your steps aloud.

    Reread the ending of Amelia Bedelia, from the Rogers' return through the lemon meringue pie. Say: 'In Week 6 we learned that different characters see the same thing differently.' Ask: 'When Mrs. Rogers sees the chicken in clothes, what does she think? What does Amelia think she did?'

    Mini-Lesson

    Draw two thought bubbles, one over a sketch of Amelia and one over Mrs. Rogers, for the moment they see the dusted furniture. Write what each is thinking, then say: 'The same event, two points of view. The pie is what changes Mrs. Rogers' mind.'

    Writing Workshop

    Collaborative story, draft day. Take turns: you write the instruction the helper is given, your child writes what the helper does instead, and so on for three mix-ups. Then decide together what the boss thinks when they come home and how the helper wins them over, Amelia-style.

    Word Study

    Contraction review from Week 14. Your child matches and reads: did not / didn't, I will / I'll, it is / it's, they are / they're, we have / we've, cannot / can't, then finds two contractions in Amelia Bedelia and tells which two words each stands for.

    Hands-On Activity

    Take a 10-minute walk or look out the window and list 3 things your neighborhood needs (litter on the sidewalk, a bare planter, a lonely neighbor). Then read the 5 project choices: (1) a litter cleanup of one block or park corner with gloves and a bag, (2) a canned-food drive for a local food pantry with a box and a note to 3 neighbors, (3) handmade cards and drawings for residents of a nearby nursing home or a children's hospital, (4) a book drive of gently used books for a little free library, shelter, or classroom, (5) planting flowers in pots for a shared stoop, lobby, or an older neighbor's step. Your child circles one and explains which need it meets.

    I can add and subtract within 100 with a strategy I choose.

    Look: 47 + 38 two ways

    1. Tens then ones: 40 + 30 = 70 and 7 + 8 = 15. Then 70 + 15 = 85.
    2. Make a ten: 47 + 3 = 50. Then 50 + 35 = 85.
    3. To subtract, you can count up or take away tens, then ones.

    Solve. Write the name of the strategy you used.

    1. 36 + 45 = ____
    2. 58 + 27 = ____
    3. 72 − 29 = ____
    4. 81 − 46 = ____

    Solve the word problem. Show your work.
