wisdom: knowledge of the things that matter
"The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise." -Maya Angelou
We made it through the first non-review week! The kids did great with a more intense schedule! And they have been ROCKING it with math! We've really been emphasizing having a growth mindset through all of this, so I appreciate your continued support of this same positive attitude at home! Even some of the kiddos mentioned today that it's starting to get more familiar as they're recognizing the academic vocabulary.
I will be sending home copies of the math lesson intro each night for the lessons we're doing! That way you're able to see more of what we're doing in class to better support your child. I'm also going to be setting up accounts very soon with videos for you as well! Again, thank you SO much for having such a great positive mindset through this transition!
