Life in 4th grade...

We had an eventful week! The class was excited to enjoy our first snow-day on Monday and we celebrated our friendships on Tuesday at our Valentine’s Day party!
The students are loving their new IPads! This week we used a word sort activity to show our understanding of figurative language and suffixes. Ask your child to show you the app! They can also create their own word sort activities!
We began our new math unit this week so students will begin focusing their math skills on the world of geometry! They will get many hands-on experiences to deepen their learning! Poetry is off to a great start! Students have been working in pairs to get a handle on a variety of poetry objectives. They have already written some really creative pieces. Ask your child to share some of their poetry ideas with you!
There are no new Multiplication AND Division Masters this week. Keep practicing at home! The weekly tests will now be counted as a math grade each Wednesday. It is time for all students to be efficient multipliers and dividers!
Please remember to READ AT HOME!!! The best readers are those who practice at home by reading at home. Ask your child about their books, have them read to a sibling, or read a recipe to you. There are several reading apps on the IPad that students can use. Let’s get them excited about reading at home!
Thank you for all that you do! Enjoy your long weekend and I’ll see you Wednesday!
