  • Parent Tip of the Week

    Looking for a fun way to practice math skills and get a little exercise too?  Try bowling!  If you have some plastic bottles and a small ball, you can create your own bowling alley at home.  Have the kids use a ruler or yardstick to measure out a bowling lane.  They can take turns scoring to practice those addition skills.
