Dear 4th Grade Time Travelers,
 
Get Ready for an Exciting Adventure in Math!
 
I am thrilled to introduce you to our newest and most exciting math challenge yet -"4th Grade Time Travelers: Mastering Math for the F.A.S.T". This is not just any challenge; it's a journey through time, filled with fascinating puzzles, thrilling task cards, and a whole lot of fun!
 
As young time travelers, you will embark on a remarkable journey back in time. Over the next few weeks you will travel through months of learning, with a historical theme! Your mission is to complete various math tasks, each taking you through different eras of school history. But here’s the catch – you need to complete these tasks to make it back home in time for our state tests!
 
Here's how our adventure will unfold:
 
Monthly Missions: Each month will have an envelope. Inside you'll receive a set of math tasks. These aren’t just ordinary tasks; they're tasks we’ve worked on during different times in our school year. It will be up to you to reflect back and use your strategies to complete these tasks.
Token Rewards: As you complete each task, you will color in special tokens. These tokens are not just rewards; they are the keys to power your time machine! You get to color in these tokens and watch as your collection grows.
Teamwork and Support: Remember, time travelers never work alone. We'll have teamwork activities, study groups, and lots of support from each other.
Final Countdown to FAST: As we approach our state tests, our time travel adventure will prepare us not just with math skills, but with confidence, curiosity, and a sense of accomplishment.
 
I am incredibly excited to see how each of you will rise to the challenge and become not just math experts, but also time-traveling heroes. Let's make history with our math skills and bring back the knowledge and experiences that will help us ace our state tests!
 
Get ready, Time Travelers. Our adventure begins soon!
