We are currently working on Module 3 in math which continues students’ understanding of multiplication. It is important that students know their multiplication facts as we will be doing 1 digit by 2 digit and 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication. Study with your child while your driving the car, making dinner, taking a walk around the block. Just give your child a multiplication fact such as 8 x 6 and practice memorizing the products. Flashcards are also a great way to study. You can find them at the Dollar Store, Target, Walmart, etc.

Reminder that this Thursday, October 24th is our first Math Parent Meeting from 3:00-3:30 pm. Parents are invited to come into the classroom to hear a short presentation about the Eureka Math program and the expectations your child has for this year. We will also give you tips on how to help your child at home. Please plan on attending this important informational meeting.

Students should be studying their weekly spelling words at home. We do several activities at school to practice these new words every week. Many students are not studying the words/patterns and are failing the Friday Spelling Test. You can have your child go onto iLearn at home to see their tests. Simply go to www.dearbornschools.org and click on Students. Click on iLearn and click on Ms. Shene’s 4th Grade Spelling. Go to the current week to see what activities your child has completed. All activities must have a passing score of 80% or higher by Friday morning.

This year Snow School will be having a Halloween parade instead of classroom parties. More information will be sent home regarding the parade this week.
