Parents of incoming kindergartners at Mountain View Elementary were treated to a week-long "Kinder Academy" designed to bolster the success of their children. On Thursday, they learned about the district math curriculum, enVisionMATH, from Title I Math Coach Kathy Buttaccio. During this session they talked about the California Math Standards for kindergarten, key vocabulary their students would be learning, what a typical lesson would look like, and fun math games and activities they can enjoy with their children. Because enVisionMATH is so rich in technology, Kathy also showed them how to go online and access the resources there in both English and Spanish. Finally, each parent was given a packet of math manipulatives, with encouragement to help children connect their math education at school with math at home. Thank you, Kathy, for this informative session! Thank you as well to Assistant Principal Donna Dorsey for organizing this week of activities.
