Helpful resources for counting coins
I've noticed in our morning work reviews that many students have forgotten or are still having some difficulty with recognizing coins and their value as well as counting small groups of coins. If you would like to reinforce these skills outside of school, here are a few websites that we use in class for review.
ABCya - Learning Coins
ABCya - Learn to Count Money
ABCya - Money Bingo
Peter Pig's Money Counter

Library Days
Please remember that our library day each week is Tuesday. If your child does not have their books returned, they miss out on opportunities to check out more books. With the end of the school year fast approaching, I'd hate for kids to miss the few opportunities we have left to check out and explore new books.
Lunch and Recess Volunteers
The sign up for lunch and recess volunteers has been updated with post-spring break dates if you are interested in helping out. Remember, a background check must have been completed before you can volunteer!
