Long division

We will begin long division next week. Please encourage your children to review this challenging concept at home. The following video is a great help!

Scholastic Book Orders

Scholastic has recently added a shipping fee of $5.00 for any orders that fall below $25.00. For this reason, I will no longer be putting in multiple orders throughout the month, but one mass order at the end of each month. So just a heads up, if your son/daughter sends in money for an order, it may be a few weeks instead of a few days for books to come in from now on. Students will write the due date for each order form in their agendas. Thank you.

Lattice multiplication

We've been learning some new ways to multiply. Here is a video that teaches the LATTICE method.

Reminders

This week, the good copies of the mystery stories are due on FRIDAY.
We will also be having a multiplication quiz on FRIDAY.

Multiplication unit

We have begun the Multiplication/Division unit. Please encourage your child to be practising basic multiplication tables every night! 
The following site is great: Multiplication Flashcards.

We will have a multiplication quiz this Friday.

Soldiers in Kuwait

We were very lucky to receive some photos and responses to some of the letters we sent to Kuwait in November. The students loved listening to each other read the response letters about a day in a life of a soldier!
