Aspire 

Please continue to check Aspire Gradebook weekly, and as regularly as possible with your child, to help them understand what it means to be proactive and  to be responsible. Our goal is to help them to be life-long learners with the skills they need, and to take ownership of their own learning.

We are continuing to learn how to multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. This week, we will practice multiplying 2- digits by 2-digits, 3-digits by 2-digits, 4-digits by 2-digits, and 3-digits by 3-digit whole numbers. IF students don't finish their class assignment, they will need to finish the assignment as homework, and return the next day.
