November 1, 2009 Don't forget the steps to long division and you can use this simple mnemonic, Does (Divide) My (Multiply) Sister (Subtract) Burn (Bring Down) Smores (Start Over) What - This step asks "what number" times the divisor will give you the number in the dividend, and shows multiplication as being the inverse operation to division. For example if you were to divide 12,333 by 3, the first step is to divide 12 by 3, or you can think "what times 3 will give me 12". October 20, 2009 Today the students worked on categorizing their spelling words according to the long a and long i sounds. We worked on the ai, eight, and ay spellings along with the igh spelling. In math we worked on using our calculators and long division. In social studies we practiced skimming and scanning for the answers in the text, and preparing for our test on Thursday.

I am very excited to have your children in my class. There are some key pieces of information I would like to share with you before the school year really takes off, so please look over the information with your fourth grader, and I welcome any and all questions, comments, or concerns. Curriculum: -Math -Social Studies -Reading -Language Arts/Grammar -Science (with Science teacher) Teacher Expectations Behavior Students are expected to behave in a manner which represents Hillel Torah and themselves in the best light, in and outside of the classroom. This includes maintaining a respectful and positive attitude towards the Hillel Torah staff, each other, and themselves. Academically All assignments are to be turned in neatly, on time and to the best ability of the student. If there is a missing assignment, the student will need to fill out a missing assignment sheet (a copy has been attached), obtain a parent signature, a teacher signature, and turn in the missing assignment to receive partial credit. Every day an assignment is missing the student will lose 10%. For example, if a 10 point assignment due on Tuesday is turned in on Thursday, the maximum points the student can earn, will have dropped to 8. Should a student have an unexpected absence however many days they were absent, they will have to make up the assignments. Prior arrangements can be made to complete assignments due to an anticipated absence. Classroom Rules and Regulations Should any unacceptable behavior occur, a student-teacher conference will be held. Second occurrence of the unacceptable behavior will result in a conference with the student, teacher, and parent(s). On the third occurrence of the unwanted behavior a meeting with the administration, teacher, student, and parent(s) will be scheduled. The level of intervention is dependent upon the behavior. Communication I welcome all communication via phone, email, or a scheduled meeting. Email: mariko.takemoto@hilleltorah.org Phone: (847) 674-6533 Ext. 47
