Math in Class

We will be starting our Place Value lessons. We will test this Friday. Please see the letter home for examples.

After School Math Tutoring – I will begin after school tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 – 3:30. This is by invitation only and I will contact you letting you know that I would like your child to attend.

Reading Homework (optional, but highly encouraged!!) 

**Please read with your child. Make it enjoyable and fun. You can even read to them and then ask them questions!! 20 minutes a day is a great goal. Your student has an October reading log they can fill out to keep track of how often they are reading. They also should be bringing home 2 decodables each Friday in their yellow folders. These stories can be read and returned for class money. If they read them 3 times out loud with you, please sign it and have them bring it back. *
