In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

Chanting our Multiplication Facts

I have collected almost all of the permission slips to place our chanting videos on the Internet. I will let you know as soon as they are up. I know the students are very excited about it!

Homework 2/22-2/27

Reading:
Last week we began our new reading at home logs. Students will still need to read for at least 30 minutes five times a week, to earn a level 3; however, they will also need to answer a question about their reading. For students in the Dual Language program, Monday and Wednesday's reading homework should be written in Spanish. Monday's reading should be a book of their choice, A.R., at their Spanish reading level.

Math:
Students received a math packet again this week. It includes basic math fluency practice for addition, subtraction, multiplication and working with fractions.
