Math

We will continue working with money. We will identify coins and how much they are

worth.  We will count groups of mixed coins.  We will have a test on Thursday.

Please have your child gather coins in a bag or change purse to practice using real

coins at home.  They should be able to count mixed coins up to one dollar. Please

have them practice sorting coins in order from greatest amount to least (Q, D, N, P)

and then count how much money.  We will practice the same way with pretend coins

in school.
