Math News
It is hard to believe that first quarter is already coming to an end. Last week, students took the first End of Quarter Benchmark to assess their understanding of the skills that we covered during first quarter. You will receive a report showing your child's progress toward these standards along with the first quarter report card. Below I am listing the skills that we covered first quarter. If you click on the button that says, Click Here to Practice First Quarter Math Skills, you will be taken to a website with practice, videos, games, etc. for your child to practice. This would be great practice and review if you are looking for something for your child to work on over the Fall Break!
