December 4, 2015

Dear Memorial Families,
Please enjoy this week's blog.

Math Night
On Wednesday, December 2nd, a K-5 Math Night was held for parents at the Dale Street School. Shephali Fox, the district's math consultant, provided the audience with a general overview of the reasons behind the shift in math instruction.  Participants were then invited to visit five different stations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and enVision support materials) to hear about the learning trajectory from K-5, see the various strategies that our students are using to solve math problems and review the tools that are available to parents.  Within the next few days, all presentations and materials from the evening will be posted on the district/school website.  Please check them out.


Welcome to Lisa Maguire!
Lisa joined the Memorial staff on Monday as a long term substitute for learning specialist, Christine Dardia.  We are thrilled to welcome Lisa to the special education team.
