Please continue to review multiplication facts at home.  We will be assessing the x6 and x7 facts next week.  Our math vocabulary test will be Wednesday, Sept. 28th.  The majority of these words are covered during our calendar time and math instruction, but any extra review you can give over these words would be great! Thank you!

Math News:

Students are working hard, but it seems like we have forgotten LOTS of multiplication facts.  Any extra practice that you can give at home would be great!  We will begin sending home multiplication sheets to those friends who need the extra practice.  A vocabulary list for September was sent home in Friday folders today.  The test over these words will be the last week of September.  Please begin reviewing the words with your child on a daily basis.  Thanks for ALL your help!

Math News:

Students did fairly well on the first vocabulary test for the month of August.  We spent much of our calendar time this past month reviewing the words and their meanings as we talked about those concepts daily.   A new vocabulary list for the month of September will go home next week.  We will incorporate these next vocabulary words during our math instruction time and calendar time just as we did this past month.  We appreciate you taking the time to study and review the words with your child.  Thanks for all you do!
