Homework
Binders are not typically sent home on the weekend. Most Fridays, I will send home folders with any important information from the week for parents. Students will be bringing home their first Friday Folder today!
Links will be provided to support homework and studying at home throughout the year.
Math Resources
Our new math curriculum, Bridges in Mathematics, is already in full swing! During Number Corner, students have explored patterns on number lines and on our calendar and begun problem solving. In our math lessons, students are diving deeper into basic multiplication strategies and establishing expectations for sharing our mathematical thinking.
