Dear River Families,

This week in River we continued studying money and time! The children have been working on addition and subtraction with numbers 1-20 and number families (ex. 6 + 4=10, 4 + 6 =10, 10 – 4 =6, 10- 6 =4). We did a special review lesson on making and counting tally marks! The children continued working with Ms. Kathleen on the metallophones in preparation for graduation.  We began learning about money and focused on how much each coin is worth and counting by 5’s and 10’s to reach 100 cents= 1 dollar. In math we also played games of snakes and ladders! Centers this week also included working on Mother’s Day cards and part of a flower. The children have been enjoying listening, moving to, and writing poetry! We completed our last Jr. Great Book activity of the year! Next week the children will begin writing peaceful poetry and explore what they have learned about what peace means to them this year.

We are looking forward to enjoying Muffins with Mom in the morning on 5/9! Our field trip to the Wow! Museum on 5/15 requires a sack lunch, walking shoes, water bottle and backpack!

Have a great weekend,

Ms. Lauren and Ms. Andrea
