My goal is to create a learning environment where everyone feels welcome and great learning takes place. My hope is that all students feel self-confident and are motivated to learn. Open communication is also important to me. My hope for this blog is to keep families informed of the happenings in our intervention groups and how you might help your child succeed.

Unit 4 Test
I returned the unit 4 test to my math students today. I encourage you and your student to go over the test together. I told the students that we'll continue to work on division since it is a gold standard that they'll need to master this year. The steps that we follow are: divide, multiply, subtract, check, bring down, and then start over again. (The acronym they know is "Does McDonalds sell cheese burgers.") Ask your student why we use this acronym . . . then watch them go through the steps. It does work quite well! Thanks for your help in your student's learning.
