Math
We ended the first half of our Multiplication and Division unit. Students had an opportunity to review and reflect prior to taking their mid-point assessment. The second half of our unit will focus on division strategies. Our current lessons are structured more into investigations, so you will not be seeing Quick Checks come home for the next week.
Math facts continue to be essential to our unit and fourth grade math concepts. Please make sure your child is practicing their facts nightly.

Please remember to read 30 minutes nightly!
