Sunshine Math Kick-Off

Today was an exciting day for our students as we attended a special assembly to kick off Math Superstars and were met by two super-sweet Jaguars Cheerleaders, Lauren and Kaleigh. The purpose of the assembly was to inform students on how this math enrichment program will run this year. Permission slips with specific details went home today for students and parents to read together. There are two roles students can take in this program. They can either choose to be a "Mathlete" and complete the extra enrichment math homework during the 18-week program, or they can choose to be a "Cheerleader", like Lauren and Kaleigh, and continually encourage their Mathlete friends to continue participating and putting forth 100% effort. Incentives for Mathletes are invitations to eat outside at the school Pavilion every six weeks as long as they participated in at least of 5 of the 6 weeks. Drawings for prizes (such as autographed posters of The ROAR that Lauren and Kaleigh brought with them today) will be among the items given as prizes at these luncheons! Our awesome PTA will oversee this program again this year by offering various incentives and grading weekly papers. At the end of the 18-week program, every Mathlete who participated in at least 15 of the 18 weeks will be eligible to take a written test to determine a "Top 10" group of Mathletes for the grade level. These ten students will compete in a Math Brawl until the Top 3 Winners are determined. The First Place Winner will go on to compete at the Duval County district competition. We, the teachers at 4 Corners, certainly hope that many of our awesome mathematicians will sign up for this very cool enrichment math program, which starts next week!
Love, Mrs. Phillips
