Happy New Year! I hope you had a restful holiday filled with time spent with the ones you love. It has been great to see all of the students this week! As a parent of teenagers know it can be challenging to get your child back into school and sleep routines at home. Thank you for all that you do to for help to make sure your child is ready to learn at school each day.
Math - The next few weeks we will be learning "long" division. 4th graders are expected to be able to divide numbers of up to 4 digits dividends by 1 digit divisors. We will be learning two ways to divide - the standard algorithm (the one you probably learned in school) and the partial quotient method (a method you've probably never seen before). We will be building our understanding a little bit each day. As students gain comfort with long division, we will also begin learning to solve problems using variables and expressions, another challenging topic.
