Welcome!

Dear Families,

Welcome to our new 1st grade math blog.  This blog is a place where you can stay connected with the learning that takes place in our math classroom.  We will post pictures, videos and podcasts.  We hope that you will check it frequently as we will update this blog often.  In the sidebar, you and your child will have access to other sites as well.  
The wiki contains many educational and interactive math games.  I hope your child will explore these at home.  These games will not only reinforce important math skills, but hopefully also spark an interest in mathematics!
The parent resource page links out to Team Harmony's parent page, which, among other things, contain links to parent support materials for our math program Bridges. This site has many valuable links to printable materials and support packs.  
The sidebar also contains a link to Best Practices, a CSSU initiative emphasizing the development of mathematical habits of mind and interaction.  

Our math program at Allen Brook is called Bridges.  We feel very fortunate to provide this very interactive and constructivist program to your child. Throughout the year, your child will bring home a variety of homework assignments.  Your child’s homework will be compiled from many different math resources in an effort to help your child develop a solid conceptual understanding in math.

I am looking forward to being your child’s math teacher this year!  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.  We are off to a fantastic year already!

Regards,
Maria McCormack
