BES students had a great time celebrating 100 Days of School today!
BES had a few furry visitors yesterday from the Animal Shelter and Just One Generation Cat Rescue! Our goal was to have 100 donated items and we received 103! Thank you to everyone that donated. They were very appreciative, and the students had a blast with the animals.
Dear BES Families,
Your child is receiving a math kit provided by Braxton County Schools. The purpose of each math kit is to provide your child with materials to practice and review skills using hands-on manipulatives and resources. These kits are to be kept at home and used often.
The resource kits are specific for each grade level. Students are familiar with the resources in their kit, and know how to use the manipulatives. Students will be able to use a number line to help with addition or subtraction, practice multiplication facts with the provided flash cards, practice spelling words on the dry erase board with the provided markers, practice counting money using the magnetic coins, and the list goes on.
If you have questions about your kit, please call or email Mrs. Arnold at (304)853-2523 or tammy.arnold@k12.wv.us
Thank you so much for helping your student be successful!
