Nov 18 Update

Our biweekly update will be sent home today! You can also access it here.
November 18 Update
A few things to take note of...

  • We are beginning our multiplication unit. The standard algorithm of multiple digit multiplication is different than the way you and I have learned. I have posted a video under the Math Family Resource Tab to support you in understanding this algorithm. 
  • We will continue to show students the area model and partial product method of solving multiplication problems. I have posted videos to support both of these methods as well.
Please come to our family math night! 4th grade will be showing off work samples to show their learning and I will be facilitating fluency examples! I would love you for to come and check out our new math program, learn some fun games to play with your student and to understand exactly what we are learning and working on! 

Family Math Night - December 2 (6:30 - 7:30) at Kittredge School

Update - November 4

Happy November! Today marks the beginning of 2nd quarter. We started our day with new seating arrangements and a review of our success criteria. We hit the ground running in reading today learning how to commit to a nonfiction book and how to avoid reading in a "waiting for the dentist" kind of way! See what else we are learning in our update below. This will also be sent home with math parent sheets today!

Update From 4th Grade 

See you at Parent/Teacher Conferences Wednesday!
