Sunshine Math

Dear Parents, Second and Third grade Sunshine Math will begin on Monday, September 16th. 
Students who choose to participate will complete their challenge before Winter Break.  The schedule is posted on the back of this paper.  For those of you who are not familiar with the program, Sunshine Math is a voluntary Schoolwide Enrichment Program available to any students who want to try the problems each week. 
It is a 10 week program designed to complement the regular math curriculum that we have at Three Bridges School.  Sunshine Math problems are meant to be challenging and engaging.  Participating students complete the challenges at home each week and return their papers to the Sunshine Math envelope in their classroom. I will distribute challenges to participating students each week.  Participating students are expected to complete all ten weeks, and will be recognized with an award for their efforts! The process for participating in Sunshine Math is simple. If your child wants to participate, have them complete week 1 by Friday, September 20th   Your child’s completed challenge sheet is their registration for Sunshine Math. For the next 9 weeks, they will get a weekly math challenge page, following the schedule listed on the back of this page. Thank you for allowing your child to embark on this mathematical adventure. Please feel free to email me with any questions regarding Sunshine Math. I can be reached at jnabozny@readington.k12.nj.us
Warmest Regards, Mrs. Nabozny
