The practice focused on math using various activities such as a junk mail competition. Each grade was evaluated to see who had the most participation. Every nine weeks a new math activity was sent home, and it has received much positive feedback. Briggs Elementary School Becky Chisholm This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
