Scoot Pad

This week the kids starting using a website called Scootpad.  We are very excited that it exists because it helps them practice concepts for reading and math that they need to know by the end of 3rd grade.  These concepts are quite a jump because of the new Common Core standards.  The kids think it's fun to practice, send positive remarks to friends and earn rewards.



At conferences, you will learn how to access your student's information.  I will be setting rewards they can earn at school and you could set rewards for them to earn at home.  This resource just started in 2012 and it's completely free - which is AWESOME!

Math Facts

Due to the new Common Core state standards that Wisconsin adopted and we are now teaching from, the math facts fluency cut-offs have changed.  They are MUCH tougher than they used to be.  This affects everyone - K-5, not just 3rd grade.  I put together some graphs for the kids to see their progress.

Keep practicing those addition, subtraction and multiplication facts at home!
