What are we working on this week?
Math is taught differently than when you an I were growing up. You will see that your scholar is learning many different strategies to solve the same type of problem. In class, we talk about this as "tools for our tool belts" meaning that they will know how to solve problems in multiple ways and can choose the strategy that works best for them in different situations. If you are feeling unsure about or do not understand the strategy being taught-- DO NOT WORRY! I was there too when I was learning the strategies and how to teach them. I am happy to help your scholar during recess or lunch if you are unable to assist them with homework at home. Also, I would be happy to meet with you (the guardian) to show you exactly how the students are learning the content and why they are learning it that way. Send me an email and we can set up a time!
****** THIS WEEK-
Getting to know each other!

***These are educational websites that your scholars can access at home to help support their growth in Math***
