Challenger Elementary families definitely showed their spirit during the fall semester. Just over $800 was raised for our school at spirit events. Way to go!
Join other Challenger Elementary families at Rosie's Cantina on South Memorial Parkway on Tuesday, January 12th for our first spirit night of the spring semester. From 5:00 until 9:00 PM 18% of your check total (minus tax and tip) will come back to Challenger Elementary. This applies to take out orders as well, so if you're having a busy night, call in your order and swing by to pick it up. Just remember to take in your flyer to have attached to your check. Flyers MUST be presented in order for Challenger Elementary to receive the donation. If your child does not make it home with a flyer, print one from the newsletter or from the Facebook post. There will also be a few extras at the hostess counter and in the car line on Tuesday afternoon.
Flyers were sent home with your child. You may also get one from the PTA newsletter.

Math:
Topic 11
4. NF.1-Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (nxa)/(nxb)by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions
4.NF.2-Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as1/2 . Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the
conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
