NEWS FOR PARENTS~~~
**Make sure to read my "Letter to Parents" in your child's apple binder today**
Below are two important messages!
#1...Please place quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies on a table. Have your child put change in order from greatest to least, then count by "adding on." You have received three classwork pages to refer to in case you want to know how we are teaching this skill.
#2...Continue to practice telling time to the minute using an analog clock (with hands). Students must be able to tell time accurately.
Students should be reading AR books at home every night!
