MISS ROBERTS’S FIRST GRADE



Fourth Grade Newsletter: November

-----------------------

What is my child learning this month?

Dear Families:

We had a busy end of the first quarter last month and enjoyed meeting with parents at conferences. If you were not able to meet with your child’s teacher, please feel free to contact him or her using the contact information below.

We are starting multiplication this month and would love if you could have your child practicing their math facts at home. In fourth grade we work on double-digit multiplication and without fact fluency, this tends to be hard for students. They can practice facts using flash cards or with the math websites Reflex and XtraMath (links can be found on the Sugarland Website!

Thank you for your support and continuing to advocate for your children!
