It's French Week at Greenfield Elementary. It has been a lot of fun learning french expressions and participating in the different activities. Merci Beaucoup!

* Ice cream sandwiches are not being sold weekly. Thank You Ms. Bailey for honoring our orders this week. The next sale will be in May.

* Newsletters went home this week with great information and important dates. There is a copy on the school web page.

* As part of Math, we have been working with the calendar. Try asking your child questions about the calendar and not just the months in order ie: the month of a certain holiday, the month that comes 5 months after or the month of a special event like a family birthday. Spelling words for the next few weeks will be the days of the week and the months which are always capitalized. Try www.spelling city.com to practice these spelling words.
We will also be learning to count money which starts with coin identification. Please let your child sort real money at home and practice counting by ones (pennies), fives (nickles), tens (dimes), and combinations of these.
Telling time to the hour and half hour are also real world math skills that should be practiced at home. Asking your child how long until it's 8 p.m. or until bedtime, etc.
