Hi,
This week’s homework all stars are Channon, Audrey, Connor, Ryan, David, Joli, Alana, Aaliyah, Autumn, Rylan, Breanna, Logan and Nicholas. Way to go! Students are becoming very comfortable with the homework process, so after Christmas I will include math homework each week.
Need a Christmas gift idea? Many students have lost or broken markers, crayons and colored pencils. You might question your student about the condition of his/her supplies. Supplies would make a great stocking stuffer and give your student the tools needed for continued success.
Students need to be working hard at addition and subtraction facts. At this time in their school career, your student needs to be able to memorize or use patterns to quickly know the answer when working with these facts. I have listed a couple of links below. Students could practice this way, use flash cards or make up a game. Also, we are learning to touch type. The link below could be used to practice at home. Please emphasize that using the correct fingering is the productive way to practice.
Learning Links your student may explore at home:
