We had such a nice Valentine's party. Thank you to all who helped. We enjoyed working on special cards and a surprise Valentine's video message for our 5th grade buddies. We hope they have a great time at Space Camp next week.
On Monday and Tuesday, I will be at the school testing prospective students for K-5. I will pop in to check on my class, when possible. Mrs. Adams will be teaching for me. I have left my lesson plans and a little surprise!
As we continue with our Money unit in Math, please allow your child to use a handful of change. See if they can sort and identify the coins. Encourage them to see how many different ways they can make a certain amount. (How many ways can you make $0.15?)
Have them count by 5's, 10's, and 1's. Addition can also be practiced using coins.
If you have not heard our "Money" song, please ask your child to share it with you! You will love it!
