Math Month

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! We are having fun at Buchanan as we celebrate "Math Month". Each week we are focusing on a new skill by having fun activities for our students to participate in. We are focusing on the themes of estimation, measurement, geometry and problem solving. From estimation jars filled with candy to math "exercises" in the gym we are making math fun! We kicked off our math month with schoolwide assemblies with the one and only Doug Scheer. He had our students on the edge of their seats with his Math Superhero assembly. Ask your child about what fun activities they are doing during Math Month!

#BuchananBears

Did you know that we just had our annual VIP Dance at Buchanan? This year's theme was 80's and we had a totally RAD time at the dance. It was great to see students and parents dressed up in the clothes from my favorite decade! We are fortunate to have such an active PTA that puts on so many fun events for our students. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
