We are always talking about time in our classroom. “What time is recess?” and “How much longer until lunch?” are BIG QUESTIONS-haha! It would be VERY helpful if the kids could practice this life skill at home. Any chance you get, please help them practice reading time using a traditional clock with arms. There are several cute videos on youtube you can watch together to help with their practice.
Our class reward system uses plastic money. Students will earn amounts that will total about $5 before being able to spend it at our class store. I pass out pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and one dollar bills. Students earn money by preforming various tasks throughout the day. Any chance you can take to help them recognized coins and their value would be amazing. Beginning this week, their earnings will be sent home with their weekly homework. Please help them count their coins and send their total written down the next week.
