PTA Family Math Game Nights

On February 29, 2008, almost 100 people, including students, parents, and teachers had a great time playing some of the Everyday Math Games AND making a Math SOL review game to take home for more practice.

Coming up……April 11^th: Kindergarten, 1^st, and 2^nd graders and their families are invited to a Family Math Game Night. Parents will learn some of the Everyday Math Games and play them with their children. These can be enjoyed at home and will be a great way to have family fun time on weekends, as well as over the summer. Look for the information flyer and reservation form coming home after Spring Break.

Everyday Mathematics Online Games is an important way your child can improve his/her math skills. Students have their passwords. So, have them PLAY (and learn while they play). The link is on the KMES home page.
