Hello Parents and Students!
The first week has been a great start and I am so pleased and privileged to be your teacher. The first week has been getting to know each other and the procedures at school and in math class. Many students are prepared with their supplies which is great! If there is anything else you need, let me know. And a big thank you to families that have donated cleaning wipes, hand sanitizer and tissues. We are still in need of more tissues and if you can donate, that would be greatly appreciated!
Number System Unit: Today we took basic skill quizzes (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) on Ilearn. There are four, 100 questions each and 10 minute time limit. However, they can be retaken an unlimited number of times until Friday.
Summer Learning: 480 minutes of Khan Academy will be due by Friday as well.
Looking forward to meeting you at Open House!
