Our math classes in Monte Rio are a blend of lecture with Mindful Note taking in journals, textbook activities in class, and computer programs for assignment reinforcement. Our math programs have both consumable textbook, digital components, and note taking. It will be a blended format that we will be working with to solidify our learning and skill work in math. Most of our work is done in class, but some students need additional time and that becomes "homework". we practice BTC (Building Thinking Classrooms ) style of engagement, so everyone is up and working on whiteboards, class circles, and lecture.
PARENTS: Please send in your current family email and phone number so that you can receive google classroom notices and Jupiter Grade assignments and messages. We strongly recommend that you check in weekly so that your student stays on track at home. We use project based learning blended with traditional common core math, so you will see self selected work, that your student is responsible for researching, creating, and presenting on a monthly basis.
Assignments are on your student Google Classroom!
