Hello,

We’ve had a great week back so far. We are enjoying discussing the characters in Jack and the Beanstalk. It is interesting to look at both perspectives for each character. We are wrapping up our math money unit and will be testing on Friday.

If you have the Journal News at home, remember to look for the column that says “This Day in History” and shows the events that occurred on this date.

Blog Challenge:
If you were able to create your own currency what would it be called and what would each coin be worth?
