In the elementary classroom, we work for pennies! Sometimes, when we come to school, we don’t feel like working, but we are learning that it pays to work hard. Through poetry and song, we are learning all about the different coins. Our favorite part is having the opportunity to spend our pennies at our classroom store. We have items for one cent up to twenty-five cents. As we shop for stickers, letters, cookies, or pieces of candy, we learn the value of our money. Although it can be disappointing if we don’t have enough money to buy what we want, we are learning the concept of saving our money. The best part is that it’s very easy to earn the pennies. All we have to do is show up, be kind, and do our best!
We had much fun in the intermediate room this week! We have been getting into our math and language arts routines, where the students focus on individualized skills in small groups or stations with teacher support and independent work. In religion, we got to make a sweet treat and a cool science experiment while learning about Noah’s Ark. We began to learn about telling time and reading clocks and will continue to work on this over the upcoming weeks. I am so proud of your students for continuing to push through and support each other in the classroom. I love seeing their new friendships form as they interact with each other and work together to solve problems!
