Our goal is to learn the facts up to the 5 s, however I will teach the 9 s since there are many tricks to learning these answers. I find it is easier for students to learn first the 2 s, and 5 s times tables, then the 3 s and 4 s. I add the 1 s and 0 s while I teach the concept. I ll be asking you to spend all of your home math practice in February on the multiplication facts. February is just around the corner.
Students enjoy making valentines.
I am looking for suggestions as to for whom our class can make valentines. If you have a relative at a senior s home and know the staff would appreciate cards for the residents, please pass the name on to me. Or if you have another idea, pass that to me as well. Have a great weekend. Sincerely, D. B. Smith P.S. Once again we have lots of running noses and coughing in the classroom - if your child is one of them, help them to have a very quiet weekend, with lots of liquids and rest.
