We have completed the math unit on money. To celebrate the children will visit the bank here in Wakefield Wednesday afternoon. The children will learn how money is saved and used at a bank. Our walk should be just gorgeous as the weather is to be in the high 60's. Learning how to count money is an ongoing forever life lesson. Anytime you have the opportunity to have your child count money and make change it will benefit them. Please don't miss out on those teachable moments. The next unit in math is all about place value, data and graphs. We began today using a grid and cubes to make numbers. The children are learning about tens and ones.

February 25 is our last Patriotic Wednesday. I hope the children will remember to wear their red, white and blue tomorrow. We have made messages to be mailed to our deployed dads. They touch your heart! We want Tim, Richard, and David to know that we miss you and think of you everyday. God Bless you and our country you work so hard to protect!
