Math– Using Base 10 and place value to solve problems. Counting and solving money problems using dollars and coins. Using correct dollar and cents notation.

Important Reminders
- Check folders for homework and unfinished classwork. Some students have quite a bit to catch up on.
- Students have math, reading, and spelling homework EVERY night unless noted in their planner.
- Please check, read, and sign their planner EVERY day. I often write reminders and notes in their planners.
- Remind students to follow the school expectations for behavior. It may be getting spring-like, but there is still another month of learning and work ahead of us.
- Encourage your child to persevere when work is difficult or challenging. Encourage your child to think of ways to help his/herself before jumping in and helping them.
