********Math Fun!!**********

If you have access to internet at home, we have introduced a new internet service called "My Math Buddies" that is an enhancement to our Math series! It is a great way to reinforce what skills we are learning in the classroom; it offers tutorials over each lesson, gives practice, even offers a practice and test at the end! Your child has practiced this all ready in the computer lab, so if you would like to go on and work, go to www.mymathbuddies.com and your child will know where to go to find their math assignment.
