Dear Families,
In our first Math unit students will be reviewing coin names, their values, and learning about equivalent coin trades. It is helpful for students to have a collection of coins to use throughout the school year to use for money skill games, money problem solving, and making change.
We are asking that students bring in the following collections of coins to use for the school year: 4 quarters, 5 dimes, 5 nickels, and 10 pennies. These coins will be returned to your child at the end of the year. Coins should come to school in a small zip lock bag, labeled with your child’s name. Please do your best to send these coins to school by Friday, September 16th.
** Empty and clean plastic baby food containers work extremely well to house coins at school. If any families happen to have these ready for recycling, please send these to school with your child as well.
Thanks so much for your help,
Ms. Darling
Mrs. Riggs
