Young Author Books
Thanks to all who attended the Pancake Breakfast and Book Fair on Saturday!! Thank you also for all of the ONE for ONE money/donations! I was able to purchase a few non-fiction (life science) books and also some picture books for our classroom library! We appreciate it!! We are going to keep our YOUNG AUTHOR BOOKS here at school for the rest of the week and next week so that we can share our books with other 2nd grade classes and also a 1st grade class!! The kids are SO proud of them!!!
Money
By the end of the week, we will be starting a new math unit on money. It is beneficial for students to use real coins during this unit. I would like for each child to have his/her own set to use. Please send the following coins in a sealed plastic bag with your child’s name on it by the beginning of next week:
25 pennies
10 nickels
10 dimes
6 quarters
4 half dollars* (optional)
*If you have 4 half-dollars at home and would be willing to send them in your child’s bag, that would be great!
I will send the bags home with your child at the end of our money unit. As always, thank you for your support!
