Show me the MONEY!

Today we practiced counting coins. The kiddos had to build the coins and find the value. Others had a challenge they had to solve! 

March 28- April 1

This week is going to be a crazy week!
1. We are returning from Spring Break.
2. We have a field trip.

So.....

Welcome Back!

We will begin a new math chapter this week... Money and Time! Parents, you can help out at home by asking your child to read the time, tell whether it is AM or PM, and count change & dollar bills. 

In reading, we will move on to a new set of skills, but we won't test on them until the next week. With so much going on this week, I don't feel that the students will be 100% ready for the tests. They will have a Spelling Pre-Test on Friday, though.
