Weekend Homework due Monday, January 23

1. Math Packet 

As preparation for the Math Benchmark on Monday, students were given a math packet to complete over the weekend. 

2. Practice multiplication flash cards for 10 minutes. 

Students are still struggling to recall their multiplication facts. We need to keep practicing so that we can quickly recall them as they are needed for all the multiplication and division we do!

Reminder: 
- Thursday folders did NOT go out this week! Look for them to come home next week.

- Math Benchmark is on Monday, January 23.  

Parents, 
Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest the night before his or her benchmark. In the morning, make sure they eat a healthy breakfast. If you'd like to send a water bottle and healthy snack (i.e. granola bars) with your students that is fine! We want to make sure our class does their very best!
