Classroom Update
This week, students practiced explaining their math thinking with drawings, numbers, and words. Ask your child to show one strategy they used for solving a two-step problem.
Translation Notes
Avoid the idiom "hit the ground running." Use "start right away" instead. Keep the term "permission form" consistent across all translated versions and include the same phone number after every action item.
SMS Version
Grade 4 families: Field trip forms are due Friday. Students also need headphones for reading lab on Monday if available. Questions? Call [school number].
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Write the English version in plain language before translating; complex source text creates worse translations.
- 💡Put family actions at the top so deadlines are not buried under classroom updates.
- 💡Avoid idioms and school jargon unless you define them for translators and families.
- 💡Use the same dates, links, and phone numbers in every language version.
