The spelling packet will assist them in practicing their words, which will help them to prepare for their Spelling Test on Friday.

Math: This week in math we will begin our studies on Unit 4 Addition, Subtraction, and Measurement. This week’s tentative topics are: add, round, and compare, the standard algorithm for multi-digit addition, think before you add checkpoint, and removal vs differencing and constant difference. Please encourage your child to be practicing his or her multiplication facts, it makes everything we are learning in math much easier if they know them.
