Dear Parents,
We had a quiz in math this week, you can see the results posted on RenWeb. I want to let you know how proud I
am of your kids, multiplication with fractions can be complicated - we persevered! If you find that your child’s
score could use improvement, he or she can return the quiz with corrections to improve the score. This is true for
most assignments up until a test in that particular unit. I keep reminding the students that my goal is for them to
learn the material and be confident! To increase confidence in math, keep practicing those math facts! It’s a great
idea to take a few minutes each day to practice. Here’s a link recommended by Mr. Riedl:
