In math class, we have been working on money. We have had fun using coins (both classroom manipulatives and candy coins-fun!) to learn and explore the different ways we can represent values. Grade 3 curriculum states that students "estimate, count, and represent (using the $ symbol) the value of a collection of coins and bills with a maximum value of $10" Grade 4 curriculum states that students "read and represent money amounts to $100 (e.g., five dollars, two quarters, one nickel, and four cents is $5.59)" During our investigations, it has become clear that some students are still struggling with their French Numbers. Over the holidays, videos like the one below, would be a great way to review the numbers 1-100. Secret SantaFor one of our rock celebrations, our class will be having a 'Secret Santa' gift exchange. Notes when home asking for your permission to participate in the class event. One all the notes are returned, we will pull names from a box to see who each child will be matched up with. Please return the forms asap, or simply write a quick note in the planner saying 'yes' or 'no' for participation in the festive event.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, your child will be giving their 'special person' a clue. They need to write the name and/or number of their person on the clue so that our Mail delivery Elf knows which mailbox to put the clues in. :) Gifts will be exchanged on the last day of school, Friday December 21st.
