If you would like to practice math facts with your child you may check out this NEW Website: firstinmath.com. A password & letter went home with your child before winter break. Also, another great website: scootpad.com. Information as well as a password went home with your child. It helps in reading and math.
We will have enrichment for students who get “Above” on their Math Pretests.
In order to help your child we need your help. Please have your child read everyday. Ask them questions about what they have read. Have them read aloud to you. Having them listen to you read will help them to hear what a good read sounds like.
