Math
Money, Money, Money! This week we've been focusing in on simply being able to identify coins and know their value. This math chapter is one that is very convenient to practice at home! Have your child help you add up amounts when you're shopping, or have them count up coins. Next week we are going to get into comparing money values and finding greater and less than amounts.
