Math

• The district adopted Envision Math. This
  program helps align with the common core. I will
  send home math homework after I taught the
  lesson. I will let the students know when they
  will have a test so they can review at home.
  You can always do the re-teaching side of the
  math sheet to help your son/daughter before they
  complete the practice side.
• Practicing flash cards is very valuable.
