As we begin our math money unit next week, our plan is to open a School Store in our classroom. The students will earn coins in class each day. They will make their own origami wallets to keep their coins in, and will be allowed to purchase an item from the store to keep. Here is where we could use your help! If you can, please send in small, inexpensive items for the School Store. School supplies, like small rulers, pencils, erasers , etc. are ideal. Or other dollar store items that have several items in one package for a dollar (i.e. bubbles, bracelets, socks, matchbox cars, etc.). No candy please! We would truly appreciate your help with bringing this money unit to life.

Monday (Phonics & Writing): NO SCHOOL

Tuesday (Math): Using a measuring teaspoon, fill it up carefully to the top with water several times to see how many teaspoons will fit into a cup. Next, do the same using a tablespoon. Trace both spoons in your journal, then write the number of times you filled each spoon below each drawing. Which spoon needed to be filled up more times in order to fill the measuring cup?

Wednesday (Science/Social Studies): Write 2 sentences about your favorite American holiday. Illustrate your sentences.

Thursday (Language Arts): Decorate a box with the letter L. Inside the box place pictures, items or words that begin with L. Draw a picture of Larry Lion holding a lamp in your journal.

Friday (Reading): Choose a book to read with a family member. First, find all the words that you know in the book. Next, have that family member read a page to you first, then you read the page to your family member.

*Remind your child to turn in their Homework Journal this week. They are due on Fridays.*

Have fun!
