Week of January 26th

Dear Parent/s,

Happy Catholic Schools Week! Thanks to everyone who came to the Mass and Open House yesterday. It was great seeing you all! With the weather forecast and all of the planned activities, it is bound to be a fun but hectic week. Due to our schedule being a little off there will be no homework or tests this week. This would be a good time to really practice math facts and timed math. Next week we will have a reading/spelling test and a subtraction math test. You can see the Catholic Schools Week schedule posted below.

Have a great week!

Math
We will be working a lot on finding missing addends. (4 + ___ =  7, 7 - ___ = 3). The subtraction test has been moved to next week.
We will continue to do timed math, however the amount of time to complete the 60 problems will go down. Please make sure your child is studying their facts each night. There are a ton of apps and websites that they can used to practice!
Timed math worksheets can be found at the website below. All you need to do is select all of the numbers next to "Adding," click "Create Worksheet" at the bottom of the page and print! http://www.worksheetworks.com/math/basic-operations/addition-up-to-15.html
