MIddlebrook Families,
This weekend, challenge your child to become a Math Detective and discover all the ways math shows up in the world around them! Look for shapes on a walk, estimate how many items are in the grocery cart, measure ingredients while cooking, or notice patterns on buildings, clothing, and signs. Ask your child questions like, “How did you figure that out?” or “Can you think of another way?” to get them talking about their mathematical thinking. You might even keep a family tally of how many examples of math you can spot throughout the weekend. Math is everywhere—sometimes we just have to slow down and look for it!

Pokemon Cards
Please remember that toys, including Pokemon cards, should be left at home. At this time we have many students losing items in school and/or on the bus and it is causing a disruption to the educational process. Thank you for your support.
