The class has been working incredibly hard at mastering their basic facts. They have been practicing specific multiples at their instructional level, completing Wrap-Ups, and enjoying several multiplication games at www.multiplication.com. For the next several weeks, I will be posting a "Game of the Week" for the kids to enjoy. This week's game is "Harvest Hootenanny". In this game, answer ten questions correct. Next, move the farmer around the holes and crows to get to the scarecrow (think "Super Mario Brothers"). Reach the scarecrow, move to the next level, answer ten more questions, and continue on.

As mentioned earlier this year, your child will know all their facts fluently by the end of the year. Laying this factual groundwork will make mathimatical concepts easier (i.e., perimeter, area, adding/subtracting fractions) in the coming months. I will continue to work closely with each child so everyone can meet their goals!
