** All times are approximates **
Your Math prodigy accounts have been set up. You will be given some computer lab time during the week but it is recommended that you take some of your own time to work through the assignments posted. I print the reports from your accounts and this contributes to both your understanding of these concepts as well as your marks for your report cards. This is meant as a fun and interactive way to review concepts and reinforce mathematical understanding that you have acquired over the past few years.
Your log in information can be found at the bottom of the letter you will be taking home this afternoon.
By now everyone should have given their Progress Reports to their parents or those who support them at home. Starting tomorrow, Parent Teacher conferences will begin after school; make sure your parent(s)/guardian(s) call in or send in their interview time requests so we can get everyone scheduled. If there is anything on your report that you are confused about or question please don’t hesitate to ask me about it.
