Math Tips

    A team of our classroom teachers came up with some valuable tips to help you and your child practice their math Skills. Every month you can expect to see either a literacy or a math tip to help at home.

    • Review math facts at home, in the car, waiting in line, or during other downtime
    • You can use a deck of cards or dice to practice too!
    • Provide your child with verbal math problems. “Take the number five; add six; multiply by three; subtract three; divide by five. What’s your answer?” Speak slowly at first until your child gets better at solving these mental problems
    • Practice skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, 6’s, etc.
    • Have your child go on Quinney’s library webpage and play some math games!
    • Or check out your child’s google classroom! There may be fun math games there too!



    Valentines and Birthday Treats

    Beginning second semester (Tuesday, Jan. 25th), we will be returning to allowing students to bring individual-packaged, store bought birthday treats to school and with Valentine's Day coming up quickly, students will also be able to bring Valentines to share with their classmates.

    Perseverance Family Activity

    Work together to create an “I Will” statement to help your children live out the value of Perseverance. For example: “I will fall down 10 times and get up 11.” Once they have their own “I Will” intentions, invite them to write them down and post them on the bathroom mirror that they use, so they can see it and be reminded every time they brush their teeth.

    Perseverance Questions Conversation Starters

    Use these questions about Perseverance to start conversation at home this month with your children.
    • What do you think the expression, “Go slow to go fast” means? How could you apply it to the last project you did? How about the next project you’ll do? How could we apply it to our chores at home? To keeping the house clean? To straightening our rooms? How about in our relationships?
    • How would you teach someone to persevere? What would it look like?
    • What’s a challenge for you right now? What’s the hardest part? What are some resources—people, strategies, tools, inspiration—that could help you? What’s one step we can take together to overcome this challenge?

    iReady Testing

    Between January 4-28 all students will be taking the Winter iReady Diagnostic test (Reading approx. 45 min, Math approx. 45 min). They took the same assessment in September when the school year began. The questions on these tests help to show how much students have grown from the fall until now and from year to year. There is nothing students need to prepare for these tests. Suggestions of things that can help your child do their best everyday are--
    • Make sure your child has a good night's rest
    • Have your child eat a healthy breakfast at home or at school.
    • Encourage our child to do their best!





    Perseverance Conversation Starters

    Use these conversation starters about Perseverance at home this month with your children.
    • Have you ever heard the word stick-to-it-tive-ness? What do you think it means? When have you shown stick-to-it-tive-ness? How did sticking to something show Perseverance? When have you decided not to stick with something? What happened? What did you learn? How, if at all, might you do that differently?
    • “Positive self-talk” is when we say encouraging words to ourselves in our minds and sometimes out loud. What does positive self-talk have to do with Perseverance? Can you name some examples of positive self-talk that you can use when faced with a challenge? Examples:
      • Even though this is tough, I am going to keep trying.
      • If it gets too hard, I can ask for help.
      • Sometimes things don’t go as planned and that’s ok.
    • Share a personal story of Perseverance with your child. What were your challenges? What or who helped you persevere? What tangible steps did you take? What lesson did you learn?
