Things to Remember:
- Please remember to sign up for a conference time
- Please send your child's costume to school on Friday for our Halloween Parade
- Start practicing those math facts on flash cards! Start with all facts that add up to 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. They should be fluent. If you have to count more than 3 seconds it is not fluent. Once you know what is not fluent practice them nightly if possible. We work on strategies and games throughout math, but reinforcing the fluency is needed at home!
