January 21-24

Project Night was a huge success.  It was a beautiful picture of teacher, parent, and student working towards the beauty of learning, creativity,  and time spent together.  The scholars were so proud of what they had created with their families and all showed excellent knowledge of the system they studied.  I loved how engaged they were with each parent or family member that stopped to ask them about their project.  Thank you to all for the diligent work. 

XTRAMATH - SUBTRACTION
All students were switched to beginning subtraction on Friday the 17th.  This did not affect any scholar who was already on beginning subtraction or any scholar who had passed the beginning subtraction programs and were already working math facts through 20.  All students need to be completing Xtramath at least three times each week.
