Greetings Families,
Our first Grand-friends Day was a great success! I am looking forward to our next get together in February! Due to our short week coming up, we will focus on our booklet "The First Thanksgiving" and begin our unit on the Pilgrims' voyage, life in the Plymouth Colony and the celebration of the first Thanksgiving. We will also begin our next Language Arts selection "Helping Out" , and have the test NEXT Friday, Nov. 16. The Spelling test for this selection will also be on that date.
In Math we are continuing our look at place value, time, and money. A great way to practice counting money at home is to start a coin jar with the change that collects during the week. You can have your child practice counting the coins and recording the total amounts. You can also pose money problems such as making up how much things cost or use actual purchases from the grocery store and count out the correct amount of money from the jar. This can be an ongoing project...then at the end of the year have a family party with the change, or donate an amount to a worthy cause! It is amazing how quickly the small change can add up!
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Scull
