What is the procedure for math Homelinks?
A Homelink is a small math assignment that is intended to be completed with an adult (the sheets will say
"Homelink" at the top). Please do not expect your child to be able to do the the Homelinks independently. I would appreciate if the Homelinks were sent back to school within a couple of days. Since our math workbooks do not get sent home, this is a good way for you to know some of the concepts that we are working on in math class.
