MATH UPDATE:

The students of Room 10 have begun learning about Money (Number Sense and Numeration). We are currently practicing using different coins (understanding value) to represent different numbers. Every Friday the students will be able to purchase items in the "Room 10 Store" with school money they have received throughout the week as a result of achievement points/classroom behaviour etc...Have your student discuss the concept and possibly seek help with counting coins.  If you would like to work on money at home using the school money with your child, please let me know and I can provide a few activities.

Thanks!
