Math Facts

The only regular math homework will be memorizing multiplication and division math facts.  Students should practice their math facts about 10 minutes per night.  This can be done with flashcards, worksheets, charts or practicing out loud.


Reading Log

Students need to be reading every school night at home (and on weekends if possible)!!  Students need to read for at least 25 minutes every night, and they need your signature on the weekly report/reading log form each week..
