We are working hard in math support. They're learned so much new material but are also retaining old skills during our sessions. We have completed some fun holiday themed activities (Valentine's day, St. Patty's Day, and Easter). This is a busy time of year. We will continue to work together during the month of April and then we will prepare for our end-of-the-year assessment. After assessments are complete, I will send an end-of-the-year report via email. The CCIU team (math, reading, and speech) offer conferences at the end of May/beginning of June.
Warmer weather and longer days are near :)
Starting soon!
The 2nd grade students have been working on 3-digit addition and subtraction skills. This is a great time to review their previously learned 2-digit operation skills. We've also worked on word problems to help us better understand and break down these types of problems when we see them. Students should continue to practice 2-digit and 3-digit operations to strengthen their skills for next year.

The third grade students have been continuing the strengthen their multiplication and division facts. Students used models, number lines, repeated addition, skip counting and memorization to help them. We will continue to practice these facts for months to come. To continue their practice check out some of the games below:

While in their math classroom, 7th grade students have just finished equations with fractions and decimals and started the chapter on ratios and rates. Ratios can be similar to fractions and will help them better understand percentages in the coming chapters. Take a look at some of the activities below if your child needs more practice.

One of my favorite holidays is pi day! Did you know I wanted to get married on 3.14? Sadly that was a Wednesday so we got married on 3.16 instead. Close to pi, right?
