Homework:  Students will have Math homework on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  It is so important for students to work on their homework and bring it with them the next day as we use it as a learning tool and go over it as a class the next day and it does not benefit students who have not attempted the work on their own first.  I appreciate the time you give to helping your child and the rest of the class be prepared for learning the next day!
Nightly reading and recording minutes read on February Calendar is also important homework as well as practicing spelling words. 

**New to homework** Practicing multiplication facts using flashcards we made in class. (multiples of 1's through 12's) Starting timed tests in class. Very important to practice facts throughout the week.
