Math Homework and Mad Minute Results Sent Home Today

Math homework will be sent home today.  This is due back by Thursday, August 27.  We will send math homework home every Friday and it’s due the following Thursday.

We are also sending home the results of the Mad Minute from yesterday.  Students have one minute to answer 30 addition problems.  This is not a grade.  Each week we want to see students making progress. Today, each student wrote a goal on the back of their paper of how many they want to get correct next week.   Please encourage students to practice their facts at home.  This will help them reach their goal each week.  Please sign the Mad Minute and return it next Monday.
