Other notes: 
Fact Fluency practice will be sent home on a weekly basis.   In order to be fluent in their addition facts, students should be able to do 20 problems in a minute.  We will continue to practice in class, but practice outside the classroom is equally valuable, and will help your child master their facts more quickly.

​Students should be reading 15 minutes per night and need to fill out the reading log at home using complete sentences. I can't stress enough how important this homework assignment is. The reading alone helps improve your child's reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Please make this a priority.
