October 9 – 13, 2017

We had a great week, and wow did it go fast! Thinking of fast — look at these runners for walk-a-thon on Thursday. Great fun with our 2 teams, the tortoise and the hare. Congratulations to Stasha who was our top 25 money raiser in the school!

Math – We are starting unit 2 which is multiplication.  Practicing Xtra Math at home (see link on the side) or making simple flash cards to learn those multiplication facts is so important in fourth grade. We started small groups this week to sharpen our skills that need a little help.

Writing – We have completed our personal narratives, and we shared them with one another with a class celebration. Perhaps future famous writers in this class? The narratives will hang up in our room for awhile to show off.

Reading – The read aloud Tiger Rising is creating many great conversations about characters and what good readers and writers do with character development.

Government – Next week we will begin to conclude this unit with a quiz and project work to be done in class.
