Book Reviews
Our class brainstormed some fabulous book project ideas, and have come up with a list from which to choose (I will post the descriptions on my Book Review webpage). This trimester students need to complete 2 book reports. However, they will need to complete 3 book reports for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. When a student completes a book, the book project will take place of the 100 minutes of reading in the packet for the week.
Computers
The High School STRUT program accepts old computers, and will give you a donation receipt for your taxes. This will help students learn more about the ins and outs of computers. Please let me know if you would like further information.
4th Grade Performance
Great job on your performance on Thursday! We are very proud of you and your hard work, and how far you have come so far this year! Keep it up!
Math
Last week in Friday Folders, our math Student Workbooks were sent home. I wanted to send these home to give you an idea of what types of activities are happening in the classroom. I am constantly assessing students throughout the lesson, however there is not an official score/grade for the workbook. Through class discussion, partner work, supplemental math games, and assessment, this content is being taught and reviewed.
CLT
This year our 4th grade team is focusing on developing best-practice and standards based strategies to meet the needs of all students. By analyzing student data, and compiling resources, our hope is assist students in making a year’s growth in writing.
Canned Food Drive
Thanks to all of you and your serving hearts this week. It’s so amazing to see what one school can do by putting their efforts and resources together! This will benefit many people in need!
