Reading and Math Log 



Here is a link to download our class Reading and Math Log (R/M Log) that needs to be completed and turned in each week. These logs are used to mark down how many minutes your child is reading and practicing math facts each night. It will be your child’s homework responsibility to read at least 15 minutes and practice math facts for at least 5 minutes each night of the school week. If your child should happen to read or practice facts for longer than the required amount of time, feel free to write that down.

Reading—Your child may either read to him/herself, read to someone else, or have someone read to him/her. Your child may read one book, or more than one. He/she might read a chapter or two from a chapter book. Just circle on the log the method by which your child read.

Math Facts—It is extremely important in math for students to be automatic with their addition and subtraction facts. They need to begin to practice getting faster and faster with their facts. This can be done by using fact flashcards, making a sheet of written facts for your child, by using fact triangles that will be sent home, or quizzed orally. In school, we use fact triangles a lot because they show the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Please do your best to make sure that your child is reading at least 15 minutes and practicing math facts 5 minutes each night. This work makes a huge difference in school. If, for any reason you might not have time to complete these minutes one night, please make it up later in the week or on the weekend. I look to see that your child has read 75 minutes and practice math facts for 25 minutes each week.

These logs will go home every Monday, and should be sent back the following Monday. On Mondays, I will look to see that your child has brought back his/her R/M Log with the appropriate minutes. He/She will then receive a sticker to put next to his/her name on the R/M Log chart.

Thank you so much for your support in this matter. Any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thanks!
