- **All 4th graders are working hard to complete their Genius Hour projects! To help, Mrs. Wiley and Mrs. McHugh will be available before school for any 4th graders who would like to come in and work on their projects. They will be available at 8:00 on the mornings of the 25th, 26th, 28th and 29th. Please send Mrs. Wiley a quick email to let her know if you would like to come on any of these days at dwiley@jeffco.k12.co.us
- Students are expected to continue working on their multiplication tables at home until completely mastered! Many students have studied for the in class test, and then have forgotten their facts during math! As we work on division and fractions in our math unit, a complete recall of multiplication facts is critical for success!
- Classroom Supplies: We have run out of spiral notebooks for math! If you have any extra unused spiral notebooks at home, we would appreciate if we could use them for math.
