We have started a new unit in math. It consists of graphing and telling time. We have been focusing on telling time this week. Some have really grasped this concept, while others are struggling. Please review telling time (on an analog clock!) with your child at home. We have been using phrases such as "half past", "quarter after", and "quarter til". Thank you for your support!
You can support your
child’s literacy skills by reviewing, discussing, and practicing the skills and
