Weekly Homework! Please check your child's folder for their packet. Every night, students should practice their spelling words, complete the Math homework for that evening, practice their multiplication facts for the week, then read for 15 minutes. Homework should take no more than 30-40 minutes in total each night. If your child is struggling, please circle the problems they need help with and we will go over them together the next day.
Homework can remain in their green folders all week, and we will pull it out each day to go over Math homework. Remind your student to turn their packet in on Friday to start earning prizes in the Homework Club!

The Multiplication Race is On!
Please read the letter below for information on our program to help students memorize their times tables. We will have a weekly 2- minute timed quiz on Fridays containing 20 questions. Students will be allowed to retake if they do not pass with 90% on Monday, and the grade entered in the gradebook will be their highest score between the two quizzes. Students will bring their flashcards home each night. Please encourage your child to spend 5 minutes in the evening practicing their facts (recite, cover up the answer and quiz, or a parent can help quiz). They will also have a weekly multiplication fact booklet that we will work on in class together and they can take home to practice with fun multiplication activities. Please have your student return their flashcards and booklets daily to class as we will use them all week to practice our facts in preparation for the weekly quiz!
Students will move their racer on our classroom display as they master each times table. We will celebrate all the memorized times tables at the end of the year with a multiplication party!
