This week we started counting money for math.  If you have any real life experiences with shopping with cash (I know in this day and age many people don't use actual cash anymore) please have your child help you count all the coins and figure out the change!

We also worked on our writing assessments.  I am so excited to get scores on all of these and share them at conferences!  Next week we will be talking about what America means to us in preparation for a Veterans Day Assembly coming up soon. Try to help your child come up with ideas that he or she can write about.  We will be reading some books and watching some videos about our country next week to help us come up with some ideas.  A lucky writer will be reading their paper in front of the whole school!
