What is a Walkerdale Whiz Kid?
We begin our studies of the multiplication tables in September. We encourage each student to study the tables as we go along. Each day we give a times test over the tables that we are studying. We begin with the 0’s and give just one test on this easy table. This “0” table just takes one day for the class to cover. The next day we learn about the 1’s times tables. We test the students on the 1’s. Each student must pass 3 tests on the 1’s to earn a certificate. The students cannot take more than one test per day. Each student must go through the various times tables’ tests and must reach the 12’s to qualify for the honor of Whiz Kid. When the student has passed all of the tests up to 12, they receive a certificate and a personalized water bottle with their name on it and 32 pieces of candy in it. They also have their name up on a list in the classroom.Back to Top 4th Grade book ReportsEach month I assign a chapter book to be read by the student in their free time. Each month I change th
