Tomorrow is our feast! If you offered to send in mini muffins, thank you! Please send them in the morning if you can as we try to set it all up before the kids come. Remember to send your student in their pilgrim best, dark bottoms and white/light tops. Girls can do aprons if they want and boys can pull high socks over their pant legs if they want to!
In math we are learning about money! Today we introduced the penny, the symbol for cents and played a great game called Penny Plate. You start with a set number of pennies, for example 5. One player closes their eyes and the other player puts some of the pennies under the plate and the remainder on the top. For example 4 under 1 on top. Then the player with closed eyes opens and figures out how many are hiding based on how many they can see ( basic algebra!)...we started with 5 and worked up to 10 with our partners today. This is a great game to build number sense, give it a try!
