Dear Families,
This newsletter is being sent home to announce that
starting next week 3B will begin using technology in our math
class! In math we will begin a unit on fractions. To further
support the students learning of fractions we will be
incorporating two online programs: Motion Math:
Fractions! and The National Library of Virtual
Manipulatives. Programs such as these have been known to
enhance student learning as they combine math skills practice
with engaging and fun activities/games encouraging students
to have fun with math. Although we will be using these
programs quite a bit in class it would be beneficial if the
students to also got to use a computer at home to practice their
skills. I encourage you and your child to visit and explore these
programs and have fun learning math together! The rest of
this newsletter will be spent explaining these two programs
a little more in depth. If you have any questions or
concerns regarding the use of technology in our class
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Happy Exploring!
Ms.XXX
