Google Classroom
Welcome to your child’s google classroom! This year your child will be accessing google classroom every day. This is where all assignments and resources are located. There will also be easy access to the class’s calendar for assignments. As a parent, you can be added as a guardian and receive weekly summaries of the activities from your child's Google classroom.
NC Curriculum Standards
North Carolina math standards can sometimes be difficult to follow as a parent or student. North Carolina took the time to provide us (teachers) and you (parents) with what is called "Unpacking Documents". This document lists the standard that needs to be taught and breaks down the standard. Lastly, it offers you examples of how it will look.
