Math Timings


            We have started our math timings. If your child comes home with one, that means he/she did not finish. Please work with him/her to finish it each night so that he/she can get further each day. I will be keeping track of where each student gets to so that I can record and see progress. I will be calling home if I do not see progress each week. Thanks!
