We've been working on multiplication since the previous week and although the children are doing well in learning to work with multi-digit factors, there is a need to go over the times table. In addition to practicing facts with the kids in class, it would be helpful to practice at home. The four, six, seven and eight times table especially require more practice.
For extra practice, please use the
IXL Fourth Grade Games link. Games D1. D2, D5, D6, D7, and D8 are especially helpful. The
Multiplication Games link is also an option.
Here's what is happening next week:
- We will visit the Armory on Tuesday. Please make sure your child is wearing clothing for physical activity and sneakers.
- We will also be visiting The Old Stone House on Thursday. We will be back in time for lunch at school so you do not need to pack a lunch for the trip. Parents who volunteered as chaperones should have received a letter last Friday with instructions for trip day.
Finally, we had our curriculum conference on Tuesday and I want to thank the parents who patiently sat through a technology snafu. We talked a bit about the Core Curriculum and the changes it will create in what is expected of our children and how they will be assessed. The time for the meeting was nowhere near enough to fully explain the school year. I will do my best to keep you updated here on this blog.
Have a great weekend!
