MATH:

Please remember to practice addition and subtraction math fact fluency at home with your child! (How fast they can solve the problems!)

Ways you can practice at home:

• Flashcards (make them with paper or index cards, get some at the Dollar Store, or check out our Google Classroom)

• Write out a list of problems on paper and see how fast they can solve them. You can set a timer! 

Practicing the 120 chart at home is important! 

• Horizontally on the chart- numbers go across by 1’s

• Vertically on the chart- numbers go down by 10’s

• Pointing to a number and knowing the place value- hundreds, tens, ones

READING:

Please remember to have your child read at least 15 minutes each night. :)

You can ask them these questions before and after they read:

• What is the title, author, and illustrator of the story?

• They can do a quick "picture walk"- look at the pictures before reading

• As they read, you may ask "What do you predict will happen next?"

• What is the setting? (where the story takes place)

• Who are the characters?

• Retell the story (beginning, middle, and end) with details and character names in order

• After they read, you may ask them what their favorite part is and why?

• What connections can they make to the key message of the story?

WRITING:

• Having your child write at home in a journal is great practice to get their thoughts down on paper and practice their handwriting! It is important that stories include characters, a setting, a beginning, middle, and end.
