     "Math Stars" Program:  This is based on your child memorizing math facts for addition and subtraction.  We take a one minute timed test EVERY DAY!For each fact test your student passes, a sticker is added to their star.  When all tests have been passed successfully and the star is full, they may select a very large candy bar of their choice from my candy stash.  STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PRACTICE MATH FACTS NIGHTLY AND MEMORIZE THEM AS PART OF THEIR HOMEWORK.
