Two more students have hit milestones this week! First, Keira has mastered her subtraction facts from 10 on Xtra Math! She has now completed BOTH addition facts to 10 AND subtraction facts from 10! She now has the opportunity to try out multiplication! Congratulations Keira!
Next, as you are aware, we have been working on our math fact strategy flash card facts weekly since January. The goal is to pass 13 sets by answering 12+ correct answers in one minute. When those are completed, there are 6 extension sets for those who are able to move on. We've had a few children master ALL 19 sets, and our newest student to do so is Ki Scott! He joins the others 'on vacation' during our weekly one-minute timed tests on Wednesdays! Congratulations Ki!
We have 20 school days left! Many children are very close to mastering either addition or subtraction facts on Xtra Math! You can help at home by having your child visit Xtra Math daily for extra practice! In class, the kids visit Xtra Math 2-3 times per week. In addition, there are 4 Wednesdays remaining to test math fact strategy flash cards. These come home in the Friday Folder, so please check for them and practice at home as well. There are several children who have a good chance to complete all 19 sets before June 10!
Thank you for your support at home! I can honestly say that I've never had so many students reach these math milestones in my teaching career. Thank you for sharing them with me this year! It's amazing the progress that has been made in one school year!
