Parents: We are getting a lot of money in the money pouch that is loose and the children aren’t sure what it is for. Of course they want to go to the school store, but I want to make sure the money is going where it is intended to go. Remember if you are sending in money, please put it in an envelope or ziploc baggie with your child’s name and label what it is for. (example: lunch, school store, donation day—hat day, book fair, Scholastic News, field trip, etc.) Also, if it is lunch money, please put your child’s lunch number on the front as well. You can find this in their folder as student number. Thank you all so much for your help!  Math – (1.G.1a) I can identify attributes that make a shape (figure).
