5-1 Math Class Hard at Work

5th grade Math Groups Have Begun!

5th grade Math groups have started meeting with their teachers.  Students in the 5-1 class meet with me and have been setting up their composition notebooks and diving right into Chapter 1.  We came up with our Avatar names for the math facts leaderboard.  It's going to be a great year!

Welcome Back Families!

Exciting days are ahead as we come back together to learn.  I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
