Week 25

Phew, what a week! Our classroom afternoon time looked a little different this week, as we stepped away from our usual math routine and tried out math centers chosen to specifically meet the many different needs of each student in the class. We retook the math test from last week, and I saw great improvement for many of the kids! Please continue to support your children with their math homework at home. If you notice they are struggling with a certain concept, let me know, and I can send home extra practice, or change up math centers to meet their needs! Thanks for your help!
