MULTIPLICATION PRACTICE AT HOME
Have your child set a schedule to practice 2-3 times a week for 10 minutes a day for mastery.
They can also focus on a few facts a month to break the goal into chunks. Here is an example schedule:
December: 0, 1, 2, and 3
January: 5 and 10
February: 4 and 6
March: 7 and 8
April: 9
May: All Facts Fluently
Below are some ways to practice at home:
- Your child can sign on to xtramath.org at home and practice.
- Old-fashioned flash cards (send your child's teacher an email if you need some)
- Create chants and rhymes to help memorize (example-https://www.lewispalmer.org/cms/lib/CO01900635/Centricity/Domain/874/MultiplicationRhymes.docx.pdf)

SCIENCE FAIR
SCIENCE FAIR IS HERE AGAIN!!! Hooray! We are offering any 3rd -5th grader who is interested (can be in groups of two also) to participate in our school Science Fair. If you are interested in doing Science Fair, please go to this Google Classroom and join. All the information you need will be there for you. Mrs. Lummus is working with all of the students who are participating and you will find her contact information on the page. (even during the Winter Break!) The Science Fair will be on January 8th and the top two or three students (depending on how many enter) will attend the District Fair on January 14th. This is a big deal! The participants of that fair are presented in front of the School Board and get to meet each one of them. CFES has done well in the past! :)
If you choose to participate I need you to fill out the Intent to Participate by December 16th. I need a head count of how many kids to expect.
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY to work with your student and do something Academically FUN!!
GOOGLE CLASSROOM code: npwmusp (go to google classroom, the icon is the chalkboard, and join a class. Put that code in and you should see our classroom.) Say hi so I know you were there! OR click on this link to take you to our classroom:
