Math- Family Letters & Homework
Your child should have brought home the Unit 4 Family Letter this week. It is a great resource to keep handy while we work on this unit. It informs you about the skills and strategies we will cover in the unit, as well as ideas for practice at home and answers to the homework so you can check their work.
Practicing math facts should be a part of your regular homework routine. There are many ways to do it.
Your child can access Facts Workshop Game and Fact Dash from home with internet access and their login information. Today they took home a blue card with their username & password. Their username is their first name, last initial and a number. Everyone's password is 123.The website is www.everydaymathonline.com
We have used the Facts Workshop Game at school. They earn points and move to different levels as they successfully complete the problems. I can access their activity and track their progress on Everyday Math Online.

Thanksgiving Food Drive
This is the Stellar Student Council's 7th Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive!
They will accept non-perishable canned or boxed food. Student Council has added a neat twist to this year's food drive. Rather than collecting the food in boxes, they will build Mt. Food-ji by the base of the stairs near the library as food donations arrive. It is a clever play on words for the real Mt. Fuji in Japan which I have climbed!
Participation is not required. We have asked the children to check with their families before taking food to school :)
