Xtra Math starts Monday, September 8th

We are using a web-based program called XtraMath to increase speed and accuracy in arithmetic.

  

Your child will be expected to do one (1) round of XtraMath daily for Math Homework.

You will know when one round has been completed because XtraMath will have a message appear on the screen "YOU ARE DONE".

Go to xtramath.org and watch the short "overview" and "Getting Started" videos.

Click Enroll.  You will be asked for a student enrollment code.

Your student will be coming home with their enrollment code on Tuesday and for your reference is listed below.

Please begin XtraMath Homework on

Monday, September 8th

After this quick process, your child will be able to do XtraMath from home.  Please complete the steps on the flyer even if your student has done XtraMath in the past.  This will ensure that existing accounts are linked to my classroom.

THANK YOU!

Fantastic First Graders off to a Fantastic Start!

I have Fantastic students!  

I am thrilled with the progress I already see with my First Graders this year!

Please let your child know how proud I am of them and all of their hard work :)

Parents Don't Forget to Look in Your Child's Backpack everyday.

Your child will be bringing home a "Take Home Folder" daily.

You will find important information from Arches, letters/notes from me, completed classwork, project instructions/assignments and your student's daily reading poems, stories, or books.

I am teaching your students to be PROACTIVE with their TAKE HOME FOLDERS. 

I expect them to take their TAKE HOME FOLDERS out of their backpack and bring it to you.......and then bring the Take Home Folder back to school daily.

Please help them be responsible for their TAKE HOME FOLDER.

THANK YOU!

DUE ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND

Just a Friendly Reminder that your child's ALL ABOUT ME ROBOT is due on Tuesday, September 2nd.

We have already had two return to school!

It was a so fun to see your children present a poster all about them in front of the class!

I look forward to hearing from the rest of my students on Tuesday.
