Friday - Have a wonderful weekend!

In math this week we are beginning division strategies.  Students will learn the strategies of multiplying up, array model, area model, and partial quotients.  The algorithm for long division is not a 4th grade standard so it will not be covered at this time.

In science we are testing out of our matter unit this Wednesday and we will begin a new unit on energy Thursday.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Thank you,
