Daily Homework
Read Read Read!
It is essential you read at least 30 minutes a day to continue building stamina and independence as a reader.
Know Your Facts!
Knowing your math facts (addition, subtraction, mulitplication and division) is so important in understanding the math covered this year. Students MUST know their times tables (and related division facts) to 9 x 9 with fluency and accuracy to be successful with Math this year and every year afterwards. If you don't know them automatically, practice them! There are many websites and games available to help. See below for some suggestions. This list is just the tip of the ice burg.
Math Sheet Practice
In the last few months, I have been sending home Math extra practice sheets 1-2 times per week. It is critical that students take the time at home to do this practice to reinforce lessons taught in class. Not only is this good practice, but it is also develops good habits for future years. At FHS students are required to complete homework on a regular basis and their class marks will reflect their efforts.
