Harlan Math Pentathalon

Between being sick, conferences and half days, I seemed to have missed a notice regarding the Harlan Math Pentathlon.  This looks like a wonderful program!  Please see the below information.

Dear Harlan Families,

Kindergarten and 1st grade students are invited to participate in Math Pentathlon, an enrichment program that provides students with the opportunity to learn and play the Division I Math Pentathlon games.

Math Pentathlon is a program consisting of five games that encourage students to develop the ability to critically observe, classify, describe and analyze data in a logical manner using both inductive and deductive thinking methods.

The kindergarten/1st grade division will meet Fridays from 3:50 - 4:40pm, April 12th - June 7th.  A parent coach will teach students how to play all five games and participants will enjoy some friendly competition.  It is important for students to attend all of the program sessions as Math Pentathlon is a five game series.

We have 20 spaces in each Math Pentathlon Division, with the option to add more spaces if we have more coaches who can commit to helping with instruction at every session.  If student interest exceeds 20 spots, we will hold a lottery with preference given to the coaches' children.  Even if you can't make all sessions, parents can help us make this program as successful as possible by volunteering to assist the coach and students during some of the game sessions.

If your child is interested, please email me by Saturday, March 30.  Also, please indicate any days in which you can attend to assist the coach and players.  Thank you!
