The flu bug has made the way into our classroom. We have sick first graders. I'm encouraging the kids to use lots of soap when washing their hands. We were going to paint our valentines bags today, but with so many kids out decided to wait until tomorrow. The children may begin bringing their valentines anytime. Our party begins
Friday at 2:15.

In math this week we'll continue to work on counting coins. If you have a spare moment, dump out all your change and have your child count the money. The quarter was introduced today. On Tuesday we will practice counting a set of money which includes a quarter, dime, nickel and penny. Friday will be "Bring a Bank" show and tell. The children may share their special banks. Help your child try these websites for additional practice at home.
