Eight!
Mom:
That’s right. Eight ounces make one cup.
Boy:
Then you put it in the pot…
Mom:
… and boil for a quarter-hour. How many minutes is that?

There are many ways you can help at home: teaching simple math while sharing household chores; reading together; scheduling a regular time for homework; and creating a quiet place to study. Showing that you care how well your children do in school helps put them on the road to success. Learning that begins at home can last a lifetime. For tips on how you can help your child in school, visit us at cta.org…or ask a teacher.
