This year we are so pleased to be working with a brand new literacy program, My View from Savaas Realize.  

 

Our math series this year is:  GO MATH!  Go Math  is intended to promote a higher level of thinking for our little learners.  I have attached the welcome letter for parents below for the new math series.  I will also be sending a hard copy home as well.  Please read at your earliest convenience.  The skills we are focusing on at the moment are rounding to the nearest ten and hundred, as well as place value, estimation, and subtraction.
