The class was wonderful at our first all school mass last week. The students received compliments on their great participation and singing. Way to go!
Multiplication: We have been focusing on learning various strategies to multiply multi-digit numbers by a single digit (6 x 4572). The kids are doing great. Please work on basic facts for a few minutes daily at home. A stress free way for kids is to look at flash cards with the answer and say the fact aloud. “8×9 is 72” saying the facts out loud and seeing the answer will help with memorization! Try to keep it simple, stress free and consistent! Really 5 -10 minutes a day is perfect.
Conferences: If you have not yet signed up for conferences please do. I am looking forward to talking with you and your child. Your child participates in the conference so make sure your fourth grader is present. Kids get worried about the conference. There is nothing to worry about! We will focus on how to help the student. We discuss strategies so the student will be responsible for their own work and learning. We cover tips on how to ask for help, suggestions to stretch learning with challenge by choice and using a growth mind set with persistence when things seems hard.
The Annual Fall Holiday Food Drive kicks off early this year, due to a greater need. Students are asked to bring to classrooms, non-perishable items for our neighbors in need.
