Congratulations!

Congratulations to the following students for mastering their "anchor" multiplication facts (0s, 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s): Maya, Maren, Zachary, Tyler, Mackenzie, Shrey, Landon, Grant, Joseph, Noah S., Andrew, Freddie, and Madelyn. Way to go! 

Students will be able to demonstrate mastery of their facts in this order... 
- Friday, August 29th: 3s and 6s
- Friday, September 5th: 4s and 8s 
- Friday, September 12th: 7s and 9s 
- Friday, September 19th: 11s and 12s 

As discussed in class, students will be able to earn a car for the bulletin board when they have mastered all facts! Students will not be able to move on to the next test until they have demonstrated mastery of the previous set. For example, they must demonstrate mastery of the anchor facts before moving on to the test of 3s and 6s. I am happy to send home practice pages!
