Ah, blessed fractions!  My fellow 4th grade teachers concur that fractions is a tough subject, so don’t be dismayed by your child’s struggles.  With patience, support from home, and frequent practice and review, these kids will eventually have a firm grasp on the host of fraction-related concepts, so take heart!  Until then, here is the homework for this week:  Tuesday, Jan. 26; Wednesday, Jan 27; Thursday, Jan. 28; Friday, Jan 29.  If you’re worried about the upcoming chapter exam, it’s not until February 3rd, and it will be preceded by two days of intense review activities.
