Dear Parents,
When thinking upon this year's upcoming Thanksgiving, I can't help but be very very thankful for each of your children and your partnership in this model! Each family is committed to this partnership, and it really, really shows. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and that you are able to rest and have wonderful fellowship with God, family, and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Mrs. Poncy
Important info: Multiplication/Division Bar Models: I will be introducing the Multiplication/Division bar model this week, and I will be sending home a sheet that has examples on it that can help you reinforce at home. I have spoken to the 3rd grade teacher about how she teaches these particular bar models, and she has students set them up visually in such a way that it will help them differentiate whether in the word problems they will multiply or divide. Please have your child practice drawing them, and it doesn't have to be perfect starting out.
