NEW Family Math Night Spanish Banner

January 8, 2019 Karyn Comments 0 Comment

I’m happy to share with you that we now offer our Family Math Night promotional banner* in Spanish! Just hang your banner a few weeks before your event to remind families about your Family Math Night. What’s nice about the banner is that, just like the English version, you can use it over and over. We’ve included a special dry erase area where you can write in the date, time, and location of your event. Each vinyl banner has 4 sturdy grommets making it easy to hang.

We hope this helps those of you with a high Spanish population be better able to reach out to these families.

My focus while writing the handouts was on low-stress, high-value activities that parents can do with their kids at home to…
