Some short term goals

In order to keep their skills in tip-top shape there are some short-term goals I would like the kids to work on nightly (or as often as possible) over the next 3-4 weeks.  

Here they are: 

• memorize times table facts (we've learned the cookies and plates method to help solve the problems, but memorizing the facts is an essential life-skill) 
• practicing counting random handfuls of coins (an adult needs to confirm accuracy) This skill is beneficial on so many levels
• read non-fiction texts as part of nightly reading and identify/share interesting facts with family members
• all students need to know how to tell time (we've been working on this daily for about a month now as part of our mini-math lessons) 
• speak and respond to questions in full sentences that use part of the question in the response 
• also...just double checking here, but all students need to be able to tie their own shoes (I think we've got this one down pat, but thought I'd confirm)
