He has also been practicing multiplication facts using "Musical Multiplication" and working on extra math practice using "Math Seeds" which is part of the Reading Eggs App. We are currently using a free trial of Reading Eggs and Math Seeds to see if we like it to get in extra reading and math practice during the week.

Caleb:
Caleb completed two assignments in his math book this week. He also attended his “Math through Music and Movement” class at ZigArts. They read another MathStart Level 2 book called Super Sandcastle Saturday and talked about different ways to measure and why we use a ruler for consistency. Caleb also used Math Seeds to work on math facts. He is learning quickly and jumping ahead. Math seems to come very naturally to Caleb and this is a fun way for us to move more quickly through concepts that are not as difficult for him to grasp.
