Upcoming Unit 1 Math Test

Dear families,


This Friday, Sept. 2nd, students will take their first Math test, which marks the end of Unit 1.  Students were given a Unit 1 review packet with a study guide on Monday which they could use to help prepare for Friday's test.  This packet does not need to be returned to school.


We will begin Unit 2 on Tuesday, Sept. 6th.  Students will bring home a paper version of the Unit 2 family letter on Friday.  In addition, you can find an electonic version of the family letter in our Everyday Math folder, located in the parent files section of our 4th Grade PK Yonge webpage.  Please let your teacher know if you have any further questions.
