January is Math Month!
Hemlock and Ling Elementaries are proud to announce that this January, we will be participating in our FIFTH ANNUAL SCHOOL-WIDE MATH MONTH!
Math Month kicked off today! Teachers explained the upcoming events and importance of Math Month to their students, and introduced students to a school-wide math challenge as well. Each grade level will be practicing their math challenge all month long and grade level teams will be competing for the title of Hemlock’s Math MVPs! This year’s theme is “Are you Ready for Some Mathball? *with a Math Bowl at the end of the month. Throughout the month of January, students will be encouraged to practice their math skills at home and during their free time. Students will also be encouraged to recognize why math is important in all jobs and we will be sharing/displaying their findings to the rest of the school!
Pump up your child for Math Month and talk to them about why math is important in your everyday activities!
