News from the 4th Grade

Math News
We finished our multi-digit multiplication unit today! We took our unit test and those grades should be posted by Tuesday of next week. On Monday we will begin division. Students will be learning how to divide two, three, and four digit numbers by a single digit--with and without a remainder. We will take a big quiz on the Thursday before Winter Break and then finish our unit in January. Please help your child stay on top of their learning objectives.
Please have your child practice their multiplication facts. There are many games on www.multiplication.com that they would love to play that will help them. The better they know their facts, the easier this unit will be for them to complete.
Homework packets will be sent home on Monday of next week. They will be due by the end of the day Friday. Students should have mastered at least 5 topics in ALEKS during the week. If for some reason, they have not mastered them by Friday, students can (and are encouraged) to finish over the weekend. I will be running my report on Monday morning.
Science News
We discussed the cause of day and night this week. We have day and night because of the earth’s rotation on its axis. Next week we will focus on the revolution of the earth around the sun and the cause of seasons. We will also observe our shadows.
Don’t forget that the Moon calendars are due on the last day before Winter Break. Students should be observing the moon each night. Right now you can view the moon before it even gets dark. We will have a full moon this weekend.
