Let’s get earning! We are trying to revive our efforts for this fundraising opportunity for the school. Many may remember collecting the boxtops and sending them into the school; the process has now been digitalized through an app. During the month of October when new users use the Box Tops for Education referral code (X3ER9JC8), the school will get a bonus of $10 upon signing up and scanning your first receipt. This is a simple way to kickstart our participation in this program and support our amazing school!

It’s fall and the leaves are everywhere! This is a great opportunity to do some math at home! Here are some ideas for leaf math:

• Count the number of leaves that you pick up. Can you count them by 2’s? Or 5’s?

• Sort the leaves by shape, color or size.

• Measure the leaves using a ruler. Compare the size of the largest leaf and the smallest leaf.

• Create a bar graph or a pictograph that demonstrates the color or shape of the leaves.

• Write a word problem about the leaves and have someone at home try to solve it.
