Fantastic Fours
Welcome to Winter
The fourth grade teachers hope that everyone had a wonderful
Thanksgiving with family and friends. That being said, this month has
the 4th grade doing many things academically. As we come to enter
quite a season of a few upcoming holidays, our students need to
remember to stay focused on school. It is a very exciting time, but we
still need to plug away at our curriculum. Please continue to study
multiplication facts at home. We have started our chapter on Division,
so practicing division facts at home will also be beneficial. Fourth
graders are starting to catch on to what is expected of them this year and
are showing an improvement overall since the beginning of the school
year. This improvement is seen in focus, being prepared for school and
classes outside of homeroom, and bringing items home for studying or
homework. However, sometimes these materials are not brought back to
school the next school day! Please help your child through subtle
reminders of putting materials back into his or her backpack to be
returned to school. In this time of thanks, we are thankful
for a terrific and supportive team of parents, and for the
way your children make me smile each day!
We cant believe 2015 is coming to an end and it is
almost 2016. We wish everyone a Happy Holiday
and a Healthy New Year!

Math
Essential Question: What strategies can you use to divide by 1digit numbers?!
Learning division concepts oers many opportunities for students to
attend to precision. Placing the first digit in the quotient relies on
their understanding of place value and number sense. They also need
to understand the eect of the operation and the meaning of the
remainder in order to give accurate solutions to problems.!
