For the last few days we will continue on with “long division”. You should find an accompanying packet in your child's math folder. We will be using this as a supplement to the chapter. This can be a challenging chapter. Please remind your children to keep studying those facts now and over the summer!

In closing of the year . . .
I sincerely thank you for the opportunity to work with your child. It was a pleasure working with all of the children and families this year and seeing the growth and progress that I have in each and every student. We created such wonderful fourth grade memories. I wish you a great summer together!

We have hit a few bumps in the road at lesson 10.6 -10.7, but will continue our study of multiplying by two numbers in Chapter 10. As you have seen, this chapter continues to build on and extend multiplication concepts. The Chapter 10 Test will be this Friday, May 22nd.

If your child is struggling with their facts, which many are, they will have difficulty in this chapter. It is imperative that your child knows their basic facts. Students can study both independently or with another person. A great website to practice their facts is: http://www.multiplication.com/ .
