Thank you for helping us make learning fun!

As a culmination to our Financial Literacy Unit in Math, students are invited to dress up for the career they chose to research about in Math on Wednesday, December 13th. Please be sure to ask your child what profession they chose to learn about before preparing for this amazing day. (We will pick by Dec. 8th) Students may bring "tools" to help them do their job. For example, teachers would need books, pointers, pencils. Restaurant Workers would need toy food, serving tray, money etc. Doctors would use a stethoscope, doctor coat and a folder with papers to write notes in.

If you would like to confirm what your child chose, please email the teacher. Thank you for helping to make learning fun!

Below are math skills you can practice at home with your child. 

-Number Writing 1-10 

-Number recognition to 1-10 

-Tell a number that is 1 more/1 less to 10

-Compare numbers to 10 using more, less, equal

-Counting to 100

-Adding and subtracting to 5 with objects 

-Measuring objects using nonstandard measurement 

-Comparing objects by weight 

-Comparing objects by capacity 

Please make sure you have cut out the yellow sight word cards.  Also, make sure your child is practicing the letters and sounds they still need to master. 

Ideas to do after your child finishes their book:

-find sight words in the book

-ask your child questions about the book

-retell the story in order  

Don't forget to make sure your child brings their book bag to school EVERY DAY! 

Please make sure you are working with your child and practicing these words every night!
