Hall of Fame
Congratulations to Lindsey for being the first student in our class to achieve a GOLD certificate in Matheletics.  Way to go!!!  Please encourage your kids to do the same.   We are also very proud of Lindsey for winning GOLD at the K of C Free Throw Regional Championship on Saturday.   

Math App
One of our parents from the class asked me to share an app called Math Fact Master with the families of our class.  They have found it to be very helpful. You can find it in the Apple and Android store.
