Kindergator Update 9.21 and some requests

Break time! I hope you have a wonderful week off. We can all use some rest and hopefully some fall weather. Here are some things we worked on this week.

Math: We continued working on our addition fluency strategies by evaluating our answers to see if we had the biggest number in the answer spot, by working on the +0 rule, and +1 rule.
