Shumway Leadership Academy
Home of the Stars
Dear Families,
Welcome to the New Year!
This first week back on campus and with students has provided a wonderful opportunity for us to reconnect and re-engage our scholars. We have focused on reteaching expectations and establishing personal and academic WIGS (Wildly Important Goals) for the third quarter. Ask your student about their goals.
We are working diligently to identify interrupted learning because of the impact the pandemic has had on instruction, attendance, and access to learning over the past two years. In doing this, we have identified some ways you can help at home:
- Ensure your child is at school, on time, every day – unless ill
- Read with them or have them read every day
- Practice Math Facts at home daily
- In Kindergarten this means:
-recognizing how many are in a group of objects or identifying how many in a set of 0- 20 quickly (like knowing how many dots are on dice quickly)
- In First Grade this means:
- Adding and subtracting quickly within numbers 0-20
- In Second Grade this means:
- Adding and subtracting numbers quickly within 0-100
-Recognize when groups of objects are equal
- In Third Grade this means:
- Knowing math facts for Addition and Subtraction 0-12
- Being able to add and subtract numbers 0-100
- In Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grade this means:
- Knowing math facts for Addition and Subtraction 0-12
- Knowing math facts for Multiplication and Division 0-12
- Being able to add and subtract numbers 0-100
Flashcards for numbers, sets, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be purchased at the Dollar Tree. Practicing all facts your child knows and adding in a couple they don’t over time until they know all of them quickly is a great approach. This shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes every day but would make a HUGE difference in how well your child does in math!
We are honored and humbled to be entrusted with your children. Their safety, personal growth and education are of great importance to us, and we take pride in our work! Thank you for partnering with us!
If you have any questions about your child’s progress in any of the above areas or how you can work with them at home, please contact your child’s teacher.
Sincerely,
Your Shumway Family
