Reading/Literacy
Math
This week in math we are continuing to work on division. Students will be analyzing word problems in order to understand what the problem is asking them to solve. They will determine strategies to use in order to solve the problem, based on the question asked.

Your child will be given a mini-check as a quiz grade on Wednesday for division.
Field Trip Information
We have two exciting field trips planned for our fourth graders! Our first trip will be in February to the Vulcan Rock Quarry in Concord- the cost of this trip will be $6 per student.
Our trip in April will be to the NC Mountains. This will cost approximately $80 per student and payment plans will begin in January.
Be on the lookout for permission slips and payment due dates!
