Math update

Thank you for your patience as I get back into the habit of posting on the blog. I always find it takes some time to get back to posting after breaks.

We started a new unit in math last week - money! I love this unit because it is so practical for students. Last week we practiced counting money and learned different techniques. This week we started counting change, which can be a very difficult concept for some kids.

This is an easy piece of math to practice at home. If you have a spare change jar at home, dump it out and have the children count it by piling it to piles of $1. You can also see how many different ways to make $1. There are endless possibilities with making change as well.
