Math-a-palooza!
Math-a-palooza is next Wednesday, November 18, 6-8PM. What is Math-a-palooza you ask? Math-a-palooza is a night of fun family games and activities. It just so happens that the games we choose build math skills and other types of brain-power while parents and children have fun playing. Teachers will be presenting some of their favorite games and activities that directly link to the math curriculum. Parent volunteers will be leading some games from home game collections. This is your chance to have fun, learn about games your child might ask to play at home, and meet some Lakeshore teachers and families. If your kind of fun is brain-burning math and logic puzzles, we’ll also have plenty of those set up—but we won’t make you do them. Some Lakeshore teachers give homework passes for participating. Ask your child’s teacher if they do, so you can put down the homework for one night and play games with us instead!
