Home Support:
Please continue to work on multiplication facts with your child. If you need ideas of what to do, please let me know! Division and fraction concepts will be much easier to grasp with a solid knowledge of multiplication facts. Every student should be adding a few minutes of fact practice into their routine!
Virtue Focus: Empathy
This week we'll be discussing what empathy is and how that looks in regards to Election Day and opinions of others. You can encourage empathy at home by teaching and showing how people can disagree but still be kind with phrases like " I see your point, but..." and "We don't have to agree, but thank you for sharing."
