*Some students and parents expressed concern of help needed for retaining their math concepts. Front Row is an excellent source that students can use as extra practice at home. They can go onto the Map and work the concept they are struggling on. For students who want a challenge; they too can go there for an extension. We do it in centers for our classroom. But all students can do this during their free time at home too.
*Epic is another source to help with the reading retainment. It is based on their levels as well. Also this week we are trying to do our best to compete in a competition across the nation for “Dr. Seuss’s birthday”! Remember to get at least 20 to 30 min. in a night!
