Reminders **We are almost done with Module 1 in our Eureka Math curriculum, and we are pleased with the results this program is helping us achieve. In the past, our students have been proficient in math skills, but with this program, our students are developing a stronger understanding of how numbers and operations are related to each other. We can see how the time and effort we are spending on developing addition and subtraction fluency at deeper levels will benefit our students in the long run of their math education beyond first grade. We appreciate your support of your budding mathematician!
