There are adjustments to the school supply list here.
Home Reading
Read at least 100 minutes a week. However your child can complete that is fine. The only way to become a better reader is to read.
Attached is a copy of the monthly reading log and I will send a copy home as well.
Attached below are questions you can ask your child before/during and after they read. gypsd.ca/download/244150
Multiplication Facts
Having multiplication facts memorized in 4th grade is extremely important. All 4th grade math hinges off of multiplication. Your child will really struggle if facts are not mastered. We will test each week over facts and will have fact practice every night.
