We've almost made it to Friday! This week has been all about learning our schedule and getting ourselves back in the school mindset.
I know that the way math has been taught has been such a struggle. One of the major focuses involves re-naming numbers in different ways. So instead of saying 4 hundreds, we could say 40 tens. Both of these have the same value, but it takes a very deep number sense to understand this immediately. The program we use to teach math is brand new to these 4th graders, so please just hold tight. I promise it gets better! As far as homework goes, I never want this to be a frustration. I do not send home tons and tons of homework so I take what I do send home very seriously. If I send something home, it is because we have done something almost identical in class. However, if you child is really struggling, write me a little note and let them stop. I do not want bad feelings to be associated with a particular subject due to challenging homework. Check out what we have been up to!
