Dear Kindergarten Families,
Our new math program, Everyday Mathematics is filled with games and activities. This program will focus on understanding and building a mastery of basic skills, based on how children learn. In addition, Everyday Mathematics has four home connection booklets. I am sending home the first book home this week. Start by reading the introduction, then spend time with your child on activities that support your child’s math skills. Note the chart on back cover, check off as you have fun learning sign and return on Monday, November 25. A sticker will be rewarded for completed work.
