We are ready to begin multiplication.  It can be a fun activity if you practice each day at home for five or ten minutes. You also need to continue to help your child review addition and subtraction facts.  The main homework is to read for 20 minutes a day. Your child should read aloud to you two or three times a week.  Reading is the most important activity the children do to improve in school.  We have been working on our writing skills.  Keeping a journal will help a child's self awareness.  Thank you for all your help.
