Welcome to a new week!

This week in Math:  This week, students are beginning a new topic focusing on basic multiplication.  This will likely be a review for most students, and it is very important that your child master these basic multiplication facts.  If your child struggles with these basic facts, you may want to have him/her spend some time practicing with flash cards, www.multiplication.com, or www.ixl.com.
