There may be some days where your child needs to finish up work at home from the school day, or from an absence. It will most likely consist of work that -- by the end of day -- was not completed. Every day we write our work [done or not] on an "agenda paper." Please check in with your child each day when they come home from school to see if they have any work to be finished up from the day. This will help them budget their time and plan accordingly, especially if they have afternoon/evening activities. It is also helpful to check in with your child's Google Classroom account [have them show you theirs] in order to see what has been turned in and what may still be missing.
Today, the kids signed in to XtraMath class online. The link is on my website & on Clever. This is an easy, FREE, program that can be used to practice math facts. The most common question I get is...how can I help my child succeed in 4th grade?? Mastering math facts will help them be more confident as we tackle the more complex concepts later in the year. We no longer do time tests as speed is not really important. Accuracy is important. This is also a way that a struggling student can practice in the privacy of their own home to get better. I am asking students to do one session each day which takes about 5 minutes. Right now everyone is on addition & subtraction--and moving forward into multiplication & division as needed. Later on I will move everyone to multiplication & division as these are the most important facts for 4th grade math.
