Mrs. Marshall

You'll notice that your fourth grader took home (or should have taken home) their flash cards we've been working on (to 12). If they are not finished, they should have 6-12 multiplication cards done. I've found two web sites to play online, www.mathblaster.com and multiplication.com. I've found that children enjoy playing against the clock and other figures much more than answering flash cards. Please look at these sights and see if this might be something you'd like your child to work on. Fourth graders should bring their cards back to school on Monday.

Have a great weekend!
