🎉 We want to lift up Tiffany Wayne for taking one of our simple math printable games for 2nd grade and turning it into a huge gameboard. She laminated the pieces, and now a group of 5 kiddos can play together around a table. The kids LOVE it, and we wanted to brag on her. Nothing is as cool as a kid saying we’re making learning fun. We appreciate you, Tiffany and EVERY teacher, aide, interventionist, & support staff who is making math more engaging and fun for our kids!!! We’re also grateful to every family playing math games with your student. Fact fluency is the foundation for math success, and when practice is fun, kids learn the most! 📚✨ Happy Halloween!! 🎃

🚍 National School Bus Safety Week Reminder! 🚍 🟡 SLOW on YELLOW: Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and get ready to stop. 🛑 STOP on RED: When you see a school bus with flashing red lights, it means kids are getting on or off. Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and the bus moves. It's THE LAW! Let’s keep our kids safe and ensure they get to school and back home safely. Share this message and help spread awareness! 🚌💛 #SchoolBusSafety #StopOnRed #SlowOnYellow #SafetyFirst

It's National School Bus Safety Week! Let's take a minute to review some important safety tips : School safety starts at the bus stop. 🚌 🛑 ⌚ Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early. 🚏 Stand five giant steps away from the curb. 🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus. 👁️ Be sure the bus driver can always see you, and you can see the bus driver
