Supporting your student at home: 

Support your student in designing a game. It can be a board game, card game, or something using their math counters. Use the "OUR GAME PLAN" page in their Social Studies Journal located in their blue folder. What are the rules of the game? How many players will there be? How will you know who wins? Document the rules and play the game with your child. Reflect on each attempt and fine tune the rules as needed. Share your game on Seesaw to post on our class blog.
