Five Minute Fury
This week we have started Five Minute Fury. At the beginning of math, students are given 100 basic fact problems (in this case multiplication). They have five minutes to work on the problems. After the five minutes are complete, students who are done hand in the page and students who are still working on it put it in their backpack to take home. At home students are asked to complete the 100 questions and return them to the teacher the next day. The goal of this is to practice and reinforce basic facts and mental math.Grade three students are working towards mastering multiplication facts up to 5 x5, and grade four students are working towards mastering multiplication facts up to 7 x7.
Odds and Ends
Remember to read over the weekend. The goal is still to aim for at least 30 minutes of reading each day.Online booking for Student Led Conferences is now open. If you plan on attending conferences on Thursday March 19, please remember to book online.
Have a great weekend!
