Peek at Our Week

Have you heard about our classroom travels? Yes, we're world travelers now and even have passports! We're learning all sorts of facts about different countries and their holiday traditions. Next week you'll see our filled suitcases after we return back to the United States.  

 

Coin Identification: We'll be starting counting coins. Does your child remember their coin names and values? We will do a quick review on that, but it might be a fun and helpful activity to see if they remember. Feel free to practice counting various coins.
