Allen Park Elementary Choir Auditions
Mr. Hoffman will be holding auditions for the Allen Park Elementary Honor Choir at Arno on Wednesday, 9/28, in the Arno music room. Auditions start at 3:45pm and end when each student finishes. Each 3rd-5th grader singer will sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Parents are required to stay with the singer until their tryout is finished.
All students that get in the choir will receive a note from Mr. Hoffman by Friday, September 30th.
Rehearsals will be at Arno every Monday, after school, from 3:45-4:45pm.
If you have questions, please email Mr. Hoffman at hoffman@appublicschools.com
Xtra Math
Xtra Math is a web-based computer/app program that reviews and teaches the 4 basic math operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The program goes through each math operation at a time.
We do our best to have the students in room 122 do Xtra Math on the computer everyday. At the beginning of each math session, the students are given a progress quiz to assess if they know their math facts fluently (quickly). The students are considered to know a math fact fluently when they get the answer correct in 3 seconds or less. After the progress quiz, the students practice or “race the teacher” on select math facts. The Xtra Math program is used to help determine your child’s “Knows Math Facts” grade on his/her report card.
- End of 1st Quarter goal: Complete Addition
- End of 2nd Quarter goal: Complete Subtraction
- End of 3rd Quarter goal: Complete Multiplication
- End of 4th Quarter goal: Complete Division
Here a few helpful tips to help students do better on Xtra Math:
- Stay focused on the computer screen.
- Don’t go to the bathroom, get a drink, get your snack, etc. during your Xtra Math session.
- Do your best!
- Try to correctly answer as quickly as you can.
- Never guess!
- Do not talk while doing Xtra Math.
If your child doesn’t have an opportunity to do Xtra Math in the classroom, please have him/her do it at home. Thank You!
