allows you to think before acting, which can be used in all aspects
of life. Chess is the ultimate game of strategy and is perfect for
those looking for some competitive fun. If you are a beginner, have

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.
