We packed in as much learning as possible this week. I'm looking forward to slightly warmer weather and a return to our routine schedule. Stay warm!
Many students have not yet mastered their math facts. Addition and subtraction fact fluency is expected to be mastered by the end of second grade. Multiplication facts are expected to be mastered by the end of the second quarter of third quarter and division facts are expected to be mastered by the end of the third quarter of third grade. Please have your student work on the facts they are not fluent in (earned a minimum of 32 out of 36, 3 seconds per fact) daily. I will send home the subtraction and multiplication assessments on Monday.

Thank you in advance. We have developed a great relationship with the OWC over the years. They provide our students with a great introduction to our animal life science content and a unique opportunity to experience these animals up close.
