In fluency this week we will focus on the 8 facts. Students have fact cards in their zipper pouch to practice at home this week. Please make sure your child practices these facts for 10-15 minutes a night. We will not have an accuracy check this week. We will practice the 8 facts daily this week and most of next week. Students will take their accuracy check next Wednesday.
