We survived the first math benchmark of the year! It was the EXACT same test as last spring. We can definitely say that we need HELP with math facts.
Please create or invest in a set of addition/subtraction flashcards and spend about five (yes, only 5) a day. The goal is to get away from fingers and just make it automatic. When my boy was younger, I would just write out 20 easy basic problems and we would race each other and the clock. He didn't like losing to me, so he had a great incentive.
http://www.aplusmath.com/ has flashcards that are free and your child can race against a clock.
Progress Reports will be sent out Monday, September 26th. Please call me if you have any concerns or wish to discuss your child's progress.
See you at Back to School Night! Thursday, September 22nd is the big day...we have the field trip and Back to School Night...Please come!
