First In Math
Last week in Kindergarten we introduced a website called First In Math to the students and they LOVED it. It is full of fun games and activities to introduce, reinforce and challenge students in many math concepts. You will be receiving a letter this week with your child’s login information and directions on how to navigate the site. The children earn “Stickers” with each activity they complete so use the website as often as you can. We may also assign a certain activity to be completed for homework from time to time.
This week we will do an Easter writing activity and make an Easter words book. Wednesday is our Retreat Day. We will focus on preparing our hearts for Jesus’ resurrection. The children will learn chants, listen to a story and make a craft.
There will be no homework packet this week. Please have your child do a few activities on First In Math to get acquainted with the site.
