Here are some suggestions as to what you can do at home to help your child:
- Pour the change from your purse or empty your pockets and have your child identify the coins and tell you how much each coin is worth.
- Ask your child to show you how many pennies it takes to make a nickel.
- Ask your child to show you how many pennies it takes to make a dime.
· Discuss the time that events occur in your child’s schedule. You can make a schedule with them and talk about what comes first, next and etc.
Sincerely,
