- Students will take their Mid Year STAR math benchmark test this Friday in class. No prep is needed. I will share results with you in a few weeks.
- There is an information sheet coming home today regarding a class valentine exchange and AT home Valentine box creation involving some math skills :) I will explain this project to the students, but please let me know if you have questions.
- Timed multiplication quizzes begin NEXT week!! Your child has an icecream sundae sheet in their agenda to keep track of their successes with these 1 minute timed quizzes. There are 16 questions on each quiz and students pass with a 15/16 or better. If they do NOT pass, there will be a makeup opportunity each Friday during arrival. All quizzes will come home the day they are taken (planned for Mon and Wed) and will be located inside the plastic X sundae page. Please do what you can to help prepare your child for these fun and important assessments!
