Extra Practice!

As I discussed with many of you during conferences, a number of students continue to struggle with previous concepts (like long division and fraction operations). I will be giving out practice sheets each week that you can use at home to give your child some additional support. Students who complete the extra practice are encouraged to return it so I can provide feedback. Copies of the assignments will also be available digitally through the class OneNote and in the assignment section located at the top of this page.
