Other News
• Please make sure your child is practicing their math facts.
The end of the year goal is 100 math facts completed in 5
minutes. First in Math is a great tool for helping them to
learn and practice their facts. They can also go onto Sum
Dog.
• Also, students should be doing Accelerated Reader (AR) at
home. Accelerated Reader will help improver their
comprehension. The more reading your child does the
better reader they become. If you do not have a
computer, your child has the opportunity to use the tech
lab at school before school starts.
