Mr. Mathematician!

On Wednesday some of us reviewed the 99 strategy, while others were seeing it for the first time.  The 99 strategy allows for us to subtract without borrowing. It makes subtracting big numbers easier! Blakely came in Thursday morning and applied that learning! Keep showing us your awesome math skills, Blakely!

Jump Rope Champ!

Several of our 4th graders have been spending their recess time learning how to jump rope when friends are turning the rope. A few of the 4th graders already had some experience and are pretty good at it! Here is Juana showing off her skills! She is the current champ with 39 jumps!

Week 1 Spelling Words

Study these words this week! Your final test will be Friday.

First Week!

We spent our first week learning about each other in a variety of ways in our own classroom and with the entire 4th grade! We also played a few rounds of Close to 100. Our scores are shown below. Ask your child to teach you how to play. It is a fun way to practice adding and subtracting. It is Northside Pride week so show your spirit by participating in the dress up days this week!
