Mr. Tobin's Weekly Message |
Einstein Families and Einstein Staff,
Math Adoption Committee News
I am very excited to be a member of the Math Adoption Committee. The committee has narrowed the selection down to two curriculum resources. The next step will be to pilot these resources in the classroom. I am really looking forward to working with Ms. Benzel and Ms. Nichols to teach a unit from Math Connects to third graders over the next few weeks and then a unit from enVision Math. I am really looking forward to having new math curriculum resources for the 2010-11 school year.
Have a great weekend!
Jack M. Tobin
