Penny, Penny, Penny, Copper Brown and worth one cent

Hello Parents!

We are beginning to use pennies in our math curriculum.  We could use some real pennies for counting and games we have in our math curriculum.  If you have some to donate, any amount will be much appreciated!

Thanks

Math: In math we are working on counting and matching pictures with numbers

As cold weather is approaching practice with your child on zipping and buttoning jackets/coats.  Also bring hats and gloves since we never know what the weather will be like during our recess.  If you have extra sets of gloves that you would like to donate to the class that would be much appreciated.

Looking ahead to Christmas (I know Thanksgiving isn't even here yet)
Our Christmas play will be on Thursday, December 15th at 11:00 a.m.
There will be desserts and appetizers in the classroom after the play.
We ask that each family attending bring an appetizer to share.

Thank you so much to our parents for volunteering this week.
The kids really enjoy seeing you in the classroom.

Buttons - any size/color
