Decimals are in the Air...

   On Monday, we started unit 4, Decimal and Their Uses.  We have jumped right and are making our way.  This unit will present brand new concepts and will likely be more challenging than previous units.  Please make sure that your child is completing his or her homework nightly as that is key for students to get a good grasp on material presented in class.  I will continue to remind students to bring home their SRBs (Student Reference Books), so that they can refer to them as needed, while doing their homework. 
    This week, students do not have a timed multiplication test, but we will resume with them next Wednesday.  Please make sure your child is studying the facts he or she will be tested on for a short time nightly and are completing the packet for additional practice.  Multiplication is the foundation for many of the more difficult skills and concepts we will be learning this year, consequently, mastery of the facts are imperative.  Below is a link to great place value game that will provide your child with additional practice.  I also posted the link on Edmodo, so they can access the game from there as well.
