Second graders are continuing to build that financial literacy as they practice counting coins -- which also means many opportunities to practice skip counting by 5s and 10s. Students were so determined to master their money that they chose to kept working during a brain break!
Kindergarten students went on their first field trip of the year this week! They visited the VA Museum of History & Culture to learn about maps and community. Their favorite part definitely was exploring and getting their hands on lots of different props!
