Links to Helpful Blogs

Parents,

I have added some links to other blogs that give helpful advice on math, reading, social studies, and science. The reading blog has excellent book reviews and activities to help students understand what they are reading. It may also help them find books that will peak their interests. The math blog has great tips on teaching different math content for all grade levels. The KidPort blog has interesting information on social studies and science content. I hope these blogs will be useful for helping our students learn to their fullest potential. The links are located on the bottom of the blog page. Thanks!!

Division Activity

Students hard at work demonstrating dividing by creating equal groups with partners.
