Math:
Singapore spends a lot of time working on adding and subtracting unit of measure. After talking with the fourth and fifth grade teachers we will be cutting most if the adding and subtracting part out. This is not used in fourth and fifth grade. Because of this we cut some of this out and use the time to add days in to review multiplication and division. In the exercise to come you will see that not all the exercises will be completed. You are welcome to practice and complete these on your own. If you have any questions, please come talk with me.
Be practicing multiplication/division facts.
Here is another website to help practice multiplication facts. mathusee.com

We will finish reading "A Cricket in Time Square" this week. The project for this book is a diorama. Your student will construct a diorama of one of the main events of this book.
