Math Facts

I need your help! We are working on math addition facts from 0-9 daily in class. These facts must be memorized, much like our sight words. Many students are still trying to add by counting on, but are unable to meet the requirement of 20 facts in 2 minutes doing so. The best way to practice this at home is to use a set of flashcards to drill nightly. If you do not have a set of flashcards, please contact me and I will send home some blank cards for you to make a set. This is a very important skill in math and low scores on weekly math drill tests will bring down the overall math grade for your child. Thanks for all that you do!

Welcome Back!

We have been back in school for four days now, but we are already back into our routine and it seems as if we never left! I wanted to let you all know that Mrs. Tolley has reward students and staff with a jeans day tomorrow, Wednesday, January 11th because of our AR percentages across the school. Last nine weeks, our school average on AR tests was 85.5! That is awesome. Even more exciting is that our class average was 87.2. Please continue to read nightly with your child and lets push that average even higher!

Students may wear any shirt with their jeans. Thanks again for your support!
