Homework:
Your most important homework is to read for 20 minutes every night.  You can print the reading calendar below to keep track of your reading.  I also gave each student a reading calendar last week.  Just color in one flower each night you read.  Bring your calendar with every flower colored in the last week of school to get a special prize!
For math homework this week, you should still be practicing your multiplication facts!  It is so important to continue to practice so that you don’t forget these facts.  Being able to recall your multiplication facts quickly and correctly will make other math concepts so much easier for you!  

It is sure to be an AMAZING week!
