I really enjoyed getting to meet, and see again all of our families! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves while they got the grand tour of our room!
We completed our first unit of math this week which concludes (for now) rounding, place value, and making change! Next week we start working on our adding and subrtracting skills.
Our star of the week this week was Michael. We learned a little bit more about him. He has an awesome hat from Disney Land!
We continued practicing Read to Someone, Read to Self, and Work on Writing this week during Daily 5. Our class learned how to tune into interesting words while we read which has been fun! Almost every day we add words to our word wall. Ask your student if they added one! Next week we should be able to introduce Word Work! I'm very excited about this! This will give us extra spelling practice during the school day.
I'm going to try to start posting homework on here. I heard from some parents that this could be helpful. I collaborate with the other fourth grade teachers on homework,
so sometimes we aren't sure until only a day or two before what the homework is. I will try to stay on top of it! For quick reference though here is our normal weekly homework schedule:
Due Monday: Reading log
Due Tuesday: Math
Due Wednesday: Grammar
Due Thursday: Math
Due Friday: Spelling
All homework is assigned the day before it is due. Homework should not take more than 15-20 minutes at night. We try to keep it simple!
Our Jog-a-Thon is next Friday! Students brought home envelopes for collecting pledges and donations yesterday. We ask that they only ask friends and family, and not strangers. Our time on the track is 1:15-2:00. We will do as many laps as we can! This is one of our biggest fundraisers and allows our class to go on field trips and have cool things in our classroom.
