Teacher feedback

Dylan,

You've started attending Math Club after school one day a week. The facilitator sent this feedback to Mom this week:


"Good Morning Gxxxxx Family,
Yesterday we continued to work on multiplication. During the first half, the boys and I used the connecting cubes to help us with 'groups of' (ex. 8 groups of 2). After a few problems, we went to the whiteboard to work on equations (ex. 5x9). I had the boys draw out objects to help them solve for the answer. After break, we worked on figuring out the problem and answer (ex. I drew six rows of five lollipops; the problem is 6x5=30). Homework for next week is written on the inside of the front cover.
Dylan is such a joy to work with. He brings fun and laughter to the group. They other boys are more serious while Dylan tries to bring out the fun in them. He works hard and never gives up. Dylan is comfortable with multiplication. He takes his time and uses whatever he needs to solve the problem (counting, drawing, and using his fingers). Dylan is a big part of this group!
Janet"


I was noticing the other day that you've started memorizing various single-digit multiplication problems (like 4 times 5) and you seem to be having no trouble doing the work in the math book designed for the second semester of 1st grade.

I hope you continue to enjoy learning.


Dad
