CLass Dojo
Look for an invitation in my email to join Class Dojo. This will help manage classroom behavior and give you feedback about your child's behavior. You can see what your child is doing well or what they might need to work on. Your child can even edit her/his monster!

It's all about time!
Telling time can be a tricky skill to learn! Ask your child to read the clock to you at different times throughout the day and decide if the time is a.m or p.m. You may want to give your child his/her own watch or clock to practice. This website has some printable pages you might find helpful: http://www.math-aids.com/Time

Counting money is a great skill to practice at home! A fun way to practice is to have your child count coins for you and allow them to keep the coins they count correctly. You can help them practice exchanging coins (pennies for nickels, nickels for dimes, etc) as you play.
