Math in Class
I need your help!! More than half our class did not pass the money quiz last week. I will continue to reteach in class, but practice at home would be helpful. Maybe you could have your child count a small amount of change each night, and if they count correctly, they could keep the money. We will also be learning about time this week on an analog clock and digital clock. Please watch for the family letter and practice pages to come home. If you could talk about it at home, it would be greatly appreciated.
