- Thank you to everyone who has been able to meet so far for 1st Quarter conferences. It's such a great time to sit down and talk about all your child is learning this year. A few of you have asked for resources to help your children at home with math and reading. Below are two links to some great resources for parents. The first one is a website with some suggestions on how to help your child become a better reader and mathematician. The second one is a list of question stems you can use at home with any story your child is reading for their nightly 20 minutes. Please let me know if these are useful and if you would like any more resources. Thanks!
