Money and Ladybugs

We are very busy practicing counting change. Please reinforce our efforts at home by giving your child a handful of change. Have your child sort the coins (largest amount to smallest amount) and then count it all up. We have not gone over 100 cents as yet.


In case you have not been informed, we also have some class pets. We are raising Ladybug larva. They will make a pupa next and then come out of the pupa as an adult Ladybug! We are keeping journals and charting their progress. Next week we are going to make Ladybug Reading Rocks. I need each student to bring a WASHED smooth rock to school. It can be any size, but no bigger than your fist. We will turn them into Ladybugs and read aloud to them everyday to keep them strong and healthy! Thanks so much for your help.
