Dear Parents, 

 
We are beginning our next unit on Addition within 1,000. Students will apply the addition strategies that 
they have already learned this year to be able to add up to four 2-digit numbers, as well as add two 3-digit 
numbers together. We want this to serve as a tool to help your child with math at home. ​Our approximate 
test date for this unit is ​Friday February, 28th​. ​This date may change as the unit progresses. Please 
always check weekly newsletters for updated test dates.
