Reading Time: Reading at home is an extremely beneficial activity. It is recommended that your child reads at least 100 minutes each week at home divided up in whatever way works with your schedule. It is important that the types of reading vary.  The 100 minutes includes your child reading independently, reading with someone, and being read to.
Math Facts:  It is important that your child becomes fluent in multiplication this year.  Fluent means being able to solve facts quickly.  Please practice math with your child.
