Ms. Ohman
I am excited to begin this fourth grade year with you and your child! I would like to share a little bit about myself. I am originally from Minnesota and moved to Arizona nine years ago.
I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from St. Cloud State University and my master’s degree from Grand Canyon University. I am entering my tenth year of teaching. My experience lies in fourth grade along with one year in a first and second grade multiage classroom.
My family consists of my daughter Quinn, who is 8 months old, boyfriend Nate, and Rocko, our seven year old Pit-bull.

Maestra Salas Murphy
I was born in Sonora, Mexico where I attended elementary school and have now lived in the United States for over 30 years.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Northern Arizona University in Elementary Education and Spanish. I received my Master’s in Education, also from NAU, in Bilingual/Multicultural Education. I have been teaching for 21 years, all of which have been in Gilbert’s Dual Language Program. I am very excited to be a part of the Niños family this year and look forward to a challenging, yet engaging and productive year.
I am married and have a son, Esteban and a step-son, Nickolas. I love to listen to all types of music, go hiking (when the weather is nice), and spend time with my family watching movies, going places and doing fun things!

To find the area of this rectangle, students can first break it down into three parts. The length of each part can then be multiplied by the width of 18. 18(600 + 40 + 9) = 18 X 600 + 18 X 40 + 18 X 9
Students use the concepts of area and place value as strategies to multiply multi-digit numbers. Students will explore a variety of strategies to deepen their understanding of multiplication.

Students learn that 649 X 18 is also equal to:
(649 X 10) + (649 X 8).
649
X 18
649 X 10 = 6490
+ 649 X 8 = 5192

Students will use the number line to break fractions into smaller fractions and to show that 2/6 = 1/3
Understanding and creating equal fractions will prepare students for the next step: adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators.
