Khan Academy (OPTIONAL)
As a supplemental resource, I will be assigning Math work from khanacademy.org. This is a wonderful resource for students who would like more practice with the concepts taught at school or would like more challenging Math work.
The website adapts the questions based on each child's level. The more questions students answer correctly, the harder the problems will get. The program will also make problems easier if students are struggling with correctly answering the problems.
Please see below on how to sign up. This information will also be posted on our class site under "Parent Resources".
- Sign up at khanacademy.org (or log in with their existing accounts)
- Visit khanacademy.org/coaches
- There, in the "Add a coach" field, enter the class code XEEF4D

Big Easy Gala
Bonjour, parents! Y'all are invited to Field Elementary's 4th annual gala and silent auction: A Night of Jazz at the Field Big Easy on Saturday, April 23rd at the Brookside Golf and Country Club.
