Spot check homework EVERY evening Point out inaccuracies but let the student correct the problems themselves Encourage your student to look up what they do not know (back of text, “Help” pages, internet, older siblings) Ask your student to discuss and explain math to you (How did you get your answer?) Use real world math ( what is the 15 % tip ?) Talk about how you use math in your job and at home ( cooking, gardening, etc)
ATTENTION !!!!!Multiplication 0 - 10 is the most important pre-requisite for sixth grade curriculum.

Room 20 Theme for 2013 – 2014 school year:
BE PROTECTORS OF OUR FAITH, EACH OTHER AND CREATION!!!!!
“Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can protect others, so that we can protect creation.
Whenever human beings fail to live up to this responsibility, whenever we fail to care for creation and for our brothers and sisters, the way is opened to destruction and hearts are hardened.
In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts.”
Pope Francis
