Happy Track Out!
It's hard to believe that 2nd quarter is more than halfway done, but the mid-year mark is almost here! That means that during track out students will have 3 whole weeks to do some very important things.
Track Out Practice:
During this track out students will not have a "track out packet," instead they will need to be practicing their multiplication tables. There are lots of great websites with memorization games for them, flash cards from the Dollar Tree work great, and old school paper & pencil are still very helpful! So please encourage your child to STUDY, STUDY, STUDY, while they are tracked out. This will help make their work in math much easier, once they are all memorized.
Some helpful websites I found are:
www.studyisland.com/
http://multiplication.com/
http://www.gamequarium.com/multiplication.html
http://www.aplusmath.com/
