Since students are playing a game with a competitive element, please help your younger children understand about taking turns and not shouting out answers. This game will be played sequentially, with each child getting multiple turns. When a child has a turn, regardless of right or wrong answer, the next question goes to the next child. It can be very disheartening to younger children to get shut out of a game when one person is allowed to keep going each time they get a right answer. I want all students to feel included, valued and capable. 
 If you have a student with special needs, please reach out to me in advance so that together we can determine any accommodations that may be made to help your child feel comfortable and successful in class. 
Additionally, I have listed, available in the welcoming message, optional resources your child can access online and use to help get ready for class. Feel free to use other resources if you have them. These are not required in order for children to participate in the game. However, review is always a good thing! The videos and articles listed are free and available, even though some websites offer subscriptions for greater access and value. I am not affiliated with any of the websites.
