We have begun Chapter 2 on Estimation and Number Theory.  Please continue reviewing the August vocabulary words at home.  We will have an assessment over those vocabulary words on Wed., Aug. 29th.  Students will get with study buddies during class next week to review the words, but any extra review that you can give at home could benefit your child tremendously.  Also please be working on Multiplication facts! In order to be successful in the next chapter in math these facts need to be mastered.  Thank you!
