We are continuing working through all of the multiplication levels to fill a pizza.  For each multiplication level they pass, students will add another piece to make a whole pizza.  So far, we’ve tested on 1’s, 2’s, 3’s and 4’s. We will continue testing all the way through 10s in the next few weeks.  Please check in with your child to see how many slices they have earned. Have your child begin working on their facts at home too. Learning their multiplication facts will be key to their success in math.

Welcome Back!
Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break.  I enjoyed spending time with my family and had a fun time with my children.  Even though I enjoyed having time off, I'm ready and excited to get back to school.  The end of the second trimester is February 22nd. Your child should be getting close to reaching their Reading Counts goal of 18 points for this trimester. Like any other skill, reading proficiency comes from practice and encouragement.  Thank you for encouraging your child to read nightly! Also, please make sure your child spends time during the week practicing his/her multiplication facts. Extra practice at home will help build his/her math skills and confidence! The end of the second trimester means the year is more than halfway over! I look forward to continuing to watch your child learn and grow.
