Things to Note
Planner
I have been sending you a copy of your child's weekly planner via email. She/ he is responsible with keeping up with at-home assignments but I noticed a need to send you a copy so that you can compare and assist your child with completing homework assignments. You'll notice that reading has increased to 30 minutes a night.
Building Math Fact Skills
Awhile back, your child was introduced to the site- www.mathfactgenius.com. For reasons unknown, the site was down but I recently discovered that it is back up. Math fact automaticity is important in building your child's math skills so please help your child build these skills with regular practice at www.mathfactgenius.com at home.
