If you are a beginner, have no fear, for we will teach you the wizard ways! Come join Mr. Schneider in Room 29. Pick up will be in Room 29 at 4:15.

Everyday Math Club - Grades 4-5
Wednesdays    3:15-4:00

Everyday Math Club is offered for 4th and 5th graders who need some extra assistance with the Everyday Math curriculum. This will be particularly beneficial to those students who are new to the Everyday Math curriculum and its vocabulary since it can be different in structure from the programs previously used.  I can also offer assistance if a student falls behind due to absences or because the format of the program is unfamiliar. The Everyday Math Club will be Wednesday afternoons from 3:15-4:00 in room 32 in the Peltz building.  Please contact Mrs. Knecht at kknecht@benjaminschool.com if you are interested in your child participating in the club.  You may be contacted as well by your child’s teacher if we believe your child will benefit from attending the sessions.
