Please read over the day’s lesson and
choose one or two problems to discuss
with your child. If she or he can teach
the concept to you, then you know
mastery occurred.
Math homework goes home every day, but Friday, in the red
folder. It is to be returned the next day. Homework is not
graded, but checked, and teachers keep track of whether the
homework is done or not as a report card requirement.
Timed math fact test goal sheets are to be kept in
the back pocket of your child’s red folder in order for
you to know what facts to study each week.
