Hello,
I would like to give you a brief update on many things going on in our room!
ELA: All students have been working hard on their Because of Winn-Dixie projects and they are looking great! All projects are due on Monday, so please be sure to ask your child about them. Chances are good that they have already told you about their plans!
Students have also been working on Power Point Presentations about an animal of their choice. Some of the students presented theirs to the class today and students will continue to share them throughout the week next week. I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the students. From what I can tell, they have all loved learning about their animals and sharing about what they have learned. It's been fun to watch!
We will start a new unit in ELA on Tuesday about the Revolutionary War period.
MATH: We wrapped up Unit 5: Units of Measure earlier this week. We just started Unit 6: Fraction Concepts and Operations. As always, the first 3 to 4 lessons will be the hardest, so it may take us a day or two to get through each of them. We will get through it one day at a time!
MARCH MADNESS: As I shared in a previous blog post, our class read the most words out of any class in the Intermediate School last week. The kids are pumped and excited about this contest. Thanks for all of the support at home. We are hoping to defeat Mr. V's class today. I am not sure who were are challenging next week, but I will keep you posted.
SBA: Mrs. Lee sent a letter home yesterday about the Smarter Balanced Assessments. The fourth grade is a part of a math pilot program this year. We will have three 1-hour time slots in the computer lab starting on Wednesday next week. The students are not graded on this assessment, but they should still do their best. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
I will end with an inspirational quote. :)
"What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace!
