Spring Break!

We will take the Kansas Math Assessment when we return from Spring Break. We have Monday and Tuesday to review and the test will be Wednesday, March 28th, Thursday March 29th, and Friday March 30th. If you know ahead of time that your child will miss any of those days please contact me so I can make arrangements for them to make-up any missing days.
I know most students won't be thinking about math during break, but if they are using a computer please encourage them to go to http://www.ixl.com/. They can practice for about 5 minutes each day before it prompts them to either sign-up or log-in. Our free trial has expired.

Thanks and have a great Spring Break!

Please talk to your kids about their results on the formative. There are many online resources for skill practice.

If you have any questions or need help finding practice problems please let me know.

Thank you!
