Happy second week of school!!!

Be on the lookout!!  reading logs and math fact practice sheets are coming home today in you student's gray folder.  Both are due on the next Monday.  These will be sent home every Monday to be returned every following Monday.

• Reading logs - please have your student read out loud 20 minutes every night including weekends and days off.  Small bits of consistent work will show much more growth than large amounts of inconsistent work.  After they have done their reading they can fill out the reading log EACH DAY and have you initial that the reading has been done.  

• Math facts practice - we have made a shift in the primary level grades to have a larger focus on math facts.  We believe they are foundational to the success of our students in all math going forward.  Please practice math facts with your students every night to build fluency and confidence.  The math packets are to be done one sheet per night.  Again, small bits of practice everyday will help more than large amounts of work on only a couple days.

Reading logs and math fact practice packets!

• **On the back of your reading log is a list of words.  Please have your student read through these words out loud every night.  It will count as part of their reading time.  Students will be asked to read these words at school to check their progress.**

• Reading logs - please have your student read out loud 20 minutes every night including weekends and days off.  Small bits of consistent work will show much more growth than large amounts of inconsistent work.  After they have done their reading they can fill out the reading log EACH DAY and have you initial that the reading has been done.  

• Math facts practice - we have made a shift in the primary level grades to have a larger focus on math facts.  We believe they are foundational to the success of our students in all math going forward.  Please practice math facts with your students every night to build fluency and confidence.  The math packets are to be done one sheet per night.  Again, small bits of practice everyday will help more than large amounts of work on only a couple days.

  • You can check our math resources page to find which flash cards you student needs for their rocket math drills.  

  • **If you notice your student is not progressing though their Rocket math drills, just a five minute practice every night will help them immensely**
