I have sent home cards to log in and play on Zearn. It is another tool to use to help practice the math skills we are learning. It is best to do 5-10 minutes a day. They are basically games practicing the skill we learned. As your child passess each leevl, more advance games will appear! If you lose the card, email me and I could send you the info! Card should stay in your child’s reading bag for safe keeping!
