MATH HOMEWORK

As the math concepts get more difficult the students might be bringing home more homework. Please assist your child with any questions they might have on their daily work.
Here are the lessons we will cover this week:
Tuesday - Lesson 81: Angle Measures

Also, please encourage a few minutes of daily math fact practice! IXL.com is a fantastic website to sharpen those skills!
