I am working on adding five great tools to help you keep connected to our classroom and your child on top of their game. As much as I don’t like getting in front of a video camera, I have decided to buck up and do it.  I am going to start posting very short clips for you to see how things work (they will be done without children involved, so don’t worry about privacy issues).   I will also post ideas, tips, and challenges–mainly in the math areas.  Please know, I am working hard to make this site work for you, for your child, and to help your child grow. You can also ask questions about lessons if you aren’t sure about something in the comments and I’ll try to get back you shortly.  The items on this site are my work, but I am trying to credit where I should.  Hopefully, this site will not only help you feel connected to our classroom, but help you gain a greater understanding of what is being taught to your child.  Look across the top of the “chalkboard” and you’ll see different pages that will jump you to the five pages you may find helpful for this year.
