We have gotten back into the swing of things, but are still working on routine! The snow and cold have added a few more challenges for all of us, but the 4th graders are doing a great job of adapting! I am looking forward to meeting with you and discussing your child’s progress! Our time set-aside for these conferences is brief. If you would like to visit more, please feel free to set up another visit soon! Thank you for taking the time to share your insights, joys, and concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please practice the tables using flash cards, computer games, etc. so that your child can increase in speed and accuracy. We will be taking multiplication tests over each of the tables at the beginning next week. Your child will need to know each fact and answer in 2-3 seconds and will need to get a score of at least 100% to pass each timed test and move on to the next one. Students will be working to earn a special treat for passing each of the tests. <\/em>Please prepare your child to answer the multiplication tables of 3 – 4 for next week <\/strong><\/em>so that your child may test out of those tables. We will test on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Book-It <\/strong>Please continue recording your child’s minutes of reading outside of school.
