Welcome back Kindergarten :)
The weather is looking good this week, so I hope you can get outside to play and enjoy these beautiful Fall days! I was outside yesterday doing some yard work and it was such a nice day! I miss you all and I am really looking forward to being back together with you at school!
Please choose some of the activities that I have suggested for you to work on at home.
Have fun because that is the best way to learn!

You can also have them compare quantities by holding up fingers on both of your hands and having them to tell you which one has more, which one has fewer, or if they have the same amount.
