The homework for this week is to write a story (fiction or non-fiction) in the homework writing journal. The story should have something to do with March Break. Students can write non-fiction stories about what happened during March Break OR write fiction stories with March Break as part of the story. There is also a math worksheet reviewing multiplication concepts. This homework is due on Friday, March 24th, so the children have two weeks to complete and hand in their work.
***NOTE TO PARENTS***
Please have your child practise their multiplication facts at home (x0 to x10). Children who have quick strategies to figure them out or who have memorized their facts, do better at math in the upper grades. The reason is that they can use their mental energy to solve more complicated problems instead of getting slowed down by inefficient methods of fact recall. Practising 5 minutes a day with flash cards or purchased workbooks really helps!`
