News From Ms. Tindalls Class

Even though there are only two more weeks of school I do believe in taking
advantage of every last minute. I will continue teaching up to the very last day.
Children will soon get a very long vacation so please help me to keep the students in
the routine of learning by keeping to regular bedtimes, sticking with routines and
eating healthily.
Suggested Home Activities
Monday - Friday
Math: Grab mixed piles of coins and practice switch skip counting. Write the total

of the things your child has learned in grade one. Make a learning plan for the
