Bridges e-News

May 2012

Greetings!

In addition to our summer workshops, we are looking ahead to fall and the launch of a new course, Implementing the CCSS with Bridges. Flyers and additional information can be found on the current workshop schedule.

This month's blog features the work of a third grade student. If you or your students have math experiences to share, contact me.

With this edition of Bridges e-News, I bid you farewell until fall. See you next school year!
