Have you talked to your child about math lately? If so, I hope he/she told you about kissing and hugging! 
We worked very hard on multi-digit multiplication last week. This is the foundation of pretty much everything we do in 5th grade math. I will continue to reinforce multiplication facts at school, please continue to do so at home.
Monday: Division with a calculator – interpreting remainder
Tuesday – Thursday: LONG Division – NO CALCULATOR! Must know those facts!
Tuesday: Pick up Math Homework #4a – Due FRIDAY.
Friday: Homework #4a DUE. Multiplication Tournament (2-digit x 2-digit)

We are moving right along this year! Students are adjusting well to the middle school setting, and the change in weather is certainly helping the classroom climate.
Monday – Friday: 2-digit x 2-digit multiplication (Kiss and Hug); students will complete Homework #4 IN CLASS on Friday for their HW grade this week. Students will also have a classwork grade on Thursday.
PLEASE keep reinforcing those multiplication facts with your child. They are SO important!!
