Our first 9 weeks of school has come to a close, and the second 9 weeks has begun! As we teachers finalize these first quarter's grades, please be sure that you are regularly logging onto SKYWARD so that you can view an updated report of your child's grades/averages for each subject. Fall conferences have commenced, as well! Mr. Steffens, Ms. A and I look forward to meeting with you and sharing your child's fall benchmark measurements (CBM's) with you.
In Math, we launched into Unit 4, which covers the relationships between decimals, fractions, and percents. This is still a challenging topic for many students, so the more they are exposed to it, the better. There are some great games available for practice on Everyday Math Online's website (students should have their login information):
- Number Top-It with 2-Place Decimals
- Number Top-It with 3-Place Decimals
- Credits/Debits Game
- Frac-Tac-Toe (there are several versions)
We finished our studies about the American Revolution, last week. Today, students selected topics for their individual project. They will spend the next couple of weeks researching, writing about, and completing their selected topic assignments. All together, each 4th grade student's topic will create a cohesive American Revolution timeline. Stay tuned for more information!
