Math: Composing/Decomposing Numbers
New Concept: Today I want to show you a new word.  It is a number bond. We have seen this in some of our math review, but today I want to use it to tell a story.  We have learned about these before but they looked like puzzle pieces. These will work the same way, they will just look a little different.
